Boy - that seems like career suicide. There's just nothing but downside to that move.

I mean I guess if you're being hired as a GM and the team turns around, you're the public face of it. But as some behind the scenes cap guru answering to a lunatic of an owner, do you REALLY want to be the guy that takes the fall when it goes south?

Because it's gonna go south. And you're mostly along for the ride.

He's been with the Chiefs for 14 years. I would think it should take a pretty great offer to get him to Carloina. I could be wrong.

By the same token, there may just be a little EB to this decision as well.

He may decide he's proven all he can here and needs to excel elsewhere to get a shot at a big chair.

I just can't imagine Carolina is the only place he can get that opportunity.

Unfortunately for Tilis, Mark Davis just swooped in and got Tom Telesco to destroy his salary cap for him.
