Buccaneers Make Changes In Front Office

May 18th, 2025 at 2:37pm CST by Ely Allen

The immediate few weeks following the NFL draft is usually an active time for staffing changes in the front offices of NFL organizations. The Buccaneers are the latest example of this as they announced some promotions and departures earlier this week.

The team already announced a new assistant general manager and director of football research in the days after the draft. The biggest changes we saw more recently involved the promotions of Mike Biehl, Shane Scannell, Tony Hardie, and Shelton Quarles.

Biehl was elevated from director to vice president of player personnel. He has been with Tampa Bay for 11 years after a 13-year stint in San Diego and three years with the Bills before that. Biehl has been a key figure in the team’s draft process for a decade now and will direct both of the college and pro personnel departments in his new role.

Scannell was promoted from director of pro scouting to director of player personnel. He started out as a scouting assistant in 2015, spent five years as a pro scout, two as assistant director of pro scouting, and two as director. Hardie has been with the Bucs for 14 years, starting as a combine scout for NFS and covering several different areas of the country for the team and company. He eventually became an area scout and a national scout before being promoted to his current role. Quarles joined the team’s front office after a decade of service as a linebacker for the team, eventually ascending up the pro scouting department to director. His focus has shifted a bit more to the ops side of things as he’s been named senior director of football operations.

The Bucs also promoted Jeremiah Bogan and Korey Finnie to college scouts. Finnie had been serving in Hardie’s old combine/NFS scout job before the promotion, while Bogan had been a scouting assistant. To cover the NFS scout role, another scouting assistant, Jordan Morrow, has also been promoted.

Lastly, while one national scout, Hardie, was given a promotion, another national scout departed. According to Neil Stratton of SucceedinFootball.com, Antwon Murray has made the decision to part ways with the team. Murray had been with Tampa Bay for nine years and will seek new opportunities in scouting.

NFL Front Office Updates: Pats, Bills, Bucs

Teams around the league continue to make adjustments here and there to their front office and scouting staffs. One such team is the Patriots, who are operating under new leadership at the top of the front office with Bill Belichick departed.

New England is reportedly parting ways with pro scout Joe Anile, according to Neil Stratton of SucceedinFootball.com. Anile joined the Patriots after five years in the Jaguars’ front office. He only spent one year as a pro scout in Jacksonville before leaving for the same role in New England.

Anile is the nephew of longtime NFL scout and front office executive Dom Anile, who rose to the rank of assistant general manager of the Colts back in the mid-2000’s.

Here are a couple of other front office updates from around the league, starting with a rival of the Anile’s former team:

  • The Bills will see football analyst Evan Weiss depart, per ESPN’s Seth Walder. Weiss will be departing the NFL ranks of football analytics in favor of a job at FanDuel, presumably doing a bit of the same work. The Northwestern grad had been with Buffalo since joining the team as an intern in 2018.
  • Lastly, the Buccaneers are bringing on a new hire in Jeremiah Bogan, according to a post from Bogan’s account on X. Bogan’s announcement revealed that he will be hired on as a scouting assistant. He joins Tampa Bay’s scouting department after spending the last four months as director of player personnel and NFL liaison at UConn. Prior to that, he spent the 2023 season as assistant director of player personnel at LSU while also serving as a national scout for the East/West Shrine Bowl.
