What is his role with the Chiefs today? Lord knows we need a talent evaluator. 

He’ll be in charge of contracts / cap space, which he’s been very good at in KC

Looks quite similar to Jake Delhomme.. combined with Peyton Manning

Late to the party on this one……

Didn't this news "break" like a week ago?

We interviewed him a few years ago when we interviewed Fitterer.  Then we interviewed him again this go around.  He's into analytics, has an assload of experience with the Chiefs.  Did Mahomes contract.  Considered KC's lead contract negotiator.  He'll replace Suleiman who we let go last week.

From the article:

But the Panthers are not done modeling their organization after others. New head coach Dave Canales is expected to lure some of the assistant coaches whom he worked with in Tampa Bay and Seattle the past two seasons.

Canales already is scoping out which Buccaneers assistant coaches he can add to the Panthers' staff, and according to sources, some are expected to make the move within the NFC South Division from Tampa Bay to Carolina.

Canales also is expected to reach back to his days with the Seahawks to pluck away some former Seattle assistant coaches. Two who are likely to join the Panthers are Pete Carroll's son, Nate Carroll, who works as the Seahawks' senior offensive assistant coach, and former Seahawks assistant special teams coach Tracy Smith, according to sources.

It was local speculation, possibly well informed info, but it never made any media.....correct me if I'm wrong

This guy will be our cap guy, similar to how the 49ers front office is structured.

Obviously extra room is required for his gigantic brain

[JawnyBlaze]

Sounds like he’d be replacing Suleimon (sp?)

That was never going to happen. You can't possibly pay Mahomes what he's making and pay Tyreek Hill what he wanted and got from the Dolphins.

They did about the best they could with that whole situation.
