New Panthers owner David Tepper isn’t wasting any time wading into NFL business.
According to Kelsey Riggs of WCNC Chris Jones Jersey , Tepper flew straight from being approved at the Atlanta owners meeting to Charlotte to meet with some of his new employees yesterday.
Tepper apparently discussed the league’s new anthem policy with a few of the team captains and key leaders on the team. A source described the meeting as including “good dialogue and discussion” about the issue.
The Panthers hadn’t exactly been known for advocacy when Jerry Richardson owned the team.
When President Donald Trump sparked a new wave of protesting players last fall, only veteran defensive end Julius Peppers made any notice of it, by staying in the locker room during the anthem the following week. And as a future Hall of Famer Eddie Yarbrough Jersey , Peppers had the kind of job security to stand on his own two feet, even if he didn’t kneel.
The NFL will hold a career development symposium next week in Orlando, Florida.
The symposium will be Thursday-Saturday Thomas Davis Jersey , right before the league's annual meeting. Aspiring head coach, coordinator and general manager candidates will learn about football administration, operations Julien Davenport Jersey , coaching and scouting through presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions and networking opportunities with club and league executives.
Among the speakers are coach Doug Pederson of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles Ronnie Harrison Jersey , Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter, Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn and Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott.
Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill and Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay are also among the 64 coaches and front-office executives from across the league that will take part.
The symposium was held from 1998-2008 and returned in 2013. Last year's event focused on engaging aspiring female executives.
