From what I've read, sounds more like a business office guy than a football guy.

It's a business guy to run the business side if that wasn't obvious.

Probably replacing Tina Becker.

That's a legitimate possibility.

Not sure why that'd be bad.

We're talking about him being on the business side, not football operations.

So Jerry's sons were cut, team President is gone, and has been for some time, absentee owner, cheerleader running business operations, etc, etc, etc......

 

If I just bought  a $2.2B business, you can bet your ass I'm bringing in people to advise me, and possibly take over operations ASAP.

He's a CPA, a normal first step in the acquisition of a new company. Also has NFL labor and salary negotiations background along with media...a strong start for the new guy who needs a pressure point on Panthers operations.

Yeah, he was the Browns Chief Financial Officer before he left.

I'd guess we have a Chief Financial Officer, but I'd have to look up who it is.

Sounds like he'd be a consultant.

Despite the Brown's being awful, they still fill the stadium and sell a ton of merchandise. With their relatively low salary output for players, i'd think their operating margins are relatively high. I just hope Tepper doesn't take low salary expenditure to mean higher margins because if the Panther's suck, people in the Carolina's won't be showing up like Browns fans.
