Sources: The NFL has reviewed the description of Titans GM position and the two sides have agreed that the vacant position will be the primary football executive post. Non-GMs cannot be blocked by their current teams from accepting interview requests.

This does not fall in line with the prevailing “They’re looking for a yes man and also nobody has a fucking clue what’s going on in Nashville” narrative and I am therefore ignoring it.
The two sides have agreed? Does that mean the terms changed once the league got involved? Or am I reading too much into the phrasing?
I’ve read this 5 times and I still don’t know what the fuck it means.
So will the president of football operations have the final say or the general manager
While this is good news it’s so sad that the NFL even had to step in and ask if they were even offering a “real” GM job. (I still believe its a neutered role regardless of what they say)
Ownership will probably get fined in a couple years for whatever the hell this is. Hopefully we don’t lose a pick and it’s just monetary.
I still don’t understand if Brinker or the new GM is really in charge. If the two disagree on who to draft for example, who gets the final call?
The CEO dude needs to go. Carthon being fired rubbed people the wrong way, but Nyhill is the one that sent fans and media (and apparently the NFL) into a panic over all this job description talk, that appears to actually be a nothing burger. Idk what be actually does, but he needs to stop talking about football things.
So the gm has powers but still reports to brinker is my understanding?
The fact the league had to review what the fuck we meant is funny to me, no one knew what was going on
This is interesting. I interpret this as a skirt of the approval request rules? Is it intentional? Are the Titans the 1st to have this come up?
I’m OOTL, what’s this about and what does it mean?
Brinker is the GM, I am not letting him scapegoat this next dude for his decisions.
This makes no sense. Brinker has final say on all roster moves doesnt sound like the GM position is the Primary Football Executive Post to me. Would love to know what they said to the NFL to get around it without flat out lying.
