Dan Morgan has a new partner in the front office.

Wednesday evening, the Carolina Panthers announced the hire of Brandt Tilis as Executive Vice President of Football Operations.

"It's great to add Brandt and his experience to our organization," Panthers GM Dan Morgan said in the team's press release. "He comes from a championship-caliber team in Kansas City and will play a lead role in our front office. We are looking forward to getting him here and working together to build this team."

Tilis interviewed for the Panthers' GM position three years ago and again this year following the firing of Scott Fitterer. He is well thought of around the league and has been the main orchestrator in contract negotiations for the Chiefs since 2017. He had a hand in the 10-year, $450 million contract extension to QB Patrick Mahomes.

Per the team site -- Tilis will be responsible for all football administration and non-coaching matters related to operations, equipment, video, and analytics, among other areas. He will also lead player contract negotiations, compliance with the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement and league rules, salary cap management, and maintenance and labor administration.
