The Carolina Panthers are targeting Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tillis for a prominent front-office role in their organization that matches him up with new general manager Dan Morgan, league sources told ESPN.

While expecting to take a significant Chiefs employee, sources told ESPN that the Panthers want to structure their front office like the San Francisco 49ers -- another team playing in Sunday's conference championship games.

The Panthers have given Morgan the official title of president of football operations/general manager -- the same title that the 49ers have given John Lynch.
