Korn Ferry Consulting firm

The Packers (like a number of teams) hired Korn Ferry Consulting firm (Jed Hughes seems to lead their NFL division) to help search for the new GM. Unfortunately we're not getting any rumors for them.

BUT the Texans also hired them for a GM search and rumors seem like they could be coming from that direction.

So these names also might be on the Packers search; Nick Caserio & Monti Ossenfort (#Patriots), Brian Gaine (#Bills), and Brian Gutekunst (#Packers).

Packers hired the firm to consultant, but Murphy was the one searching. Therefore Korn Ferry was only searching for one (but consulting for another).

As the places I saw, Albert Breer said it best.

So if they providing consultancy services, as opposed to engaging in direct recruitment, it's possible they were charging by the hour or by the day, as opposed to commanding a flat percentage of the hired candidate's yearly salary (30 percent is standard). Even so, it's not at all uncommon for consultants to charge upwards of fifty grand a day, so as short as this search turned out to be, it still could have netted a tidy sum for the consultant.

Granted! But it would have been a flagrant breach of their fiduciary obligations for them to have spent that kind of money (or any money) on concocting a list of candidates who would not want to interview . . . for the sole purpose of throwing up a smokescreen! 😂

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
