"The Falcons have another candidate for their newly-created president of football operations role: Panthers executive vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis. Tilis is set to interview for the role, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, though ex-Falcons quarterback appears to be a frontrunner for the position. Atlanta is nonetheless obligated to interview other candidates, who may also emerge as figures in their search for a new general manager."
"Tilis came up in the Chiefs' front office, starting as a salary cap analyst in 2010 and eventually rising to vice president of football operations in 2021. In 2024, he interviewed for the Panthers' GM position, and though that ultimately went to Dan Morgan, Tilis still came to Carolina in a VP role. Carolina went 5-12 in their first year under their new front office and improved to 8-9 this year to secure the franchise's first NFC South crown since 2015."
"While head coach Dave Canales' work with Bryce Young and the Panthers offense has yielded clear results on the field, Morgan and Tilis have knocked their roster moves out of the park. Major investments, like drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and signing safety Tre'von Moehrig, have paid off, and Carolina's roster is peppered with key contributors on excellent contracts that were signed in the last two offseasons. Among them are safety , cornerback Michael Jackson, and running back Rico Dowdle."
Brandt Tilis will interview with the Atlanta Falcons for the newly created president of football operations role. Tilis started in the Chiefs front office as a salary cap analyst in 2010 and rose to vice president of football operations in 2021. He interviewed for the Panthers' GM job in 2024 and joined Carolina as EVP. Carolina improved from 5-12 to 8-9 and won the NFC South. Panthers roster moves and signings such as Tetairoa McMillan and Tre'von Moehrig helped that improvement. The Falcons' apparent focus on Ryan may limit Tilis' chance for the top job, but he remains a GM candidate and could draw interest from other teams.
