Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Panthers have scheduled interviews with Texans assistant GM Jimmy Raye III for Thursday and Bills assistant college scouting director Lake Dawson for Friday.
According to Rapoport, Panthers interim GM Marty Hurney will interview at some point this week and the team has yet to request permission from the Titans to interview Ryan Cowden for the position.
Recent reports have said that while the Panthers are conducting a GM search, Hurney is the favorite for the job, which would make sense, considering that the team is about to be sold and any major changes likely wouldn’t happen until after there was a new owner in place.
Raye III, 49, coached one season for the Chiefs as their offensive quality control coach in 1995. He later was hired by the Chargers as a scout and worked his way up to director of player personnel in 2008.
Raye III spent five years in that role before the Colts hired him as their VP of football operations in 2013.
After four years in Indianapolis, Raye took over as the VP of player personnel/assistant general manager with the Texans.
We’ll have more regarding the Panthers’ GM search as the news is available.
