Eric Tillman is the Edmonton Eskimos general manager no more.

“I have spent considerable time looking at the future direction of this club and did not see Eric as a part of this team moving forward,”said Eskimos President and CEO Len Rhodes in a press release. “We will begin our search for a new general manager immediately and hope to have a successor in place by the end of the calendar year.”

Tillman has been a general manager for 12 years, and joined the Edmonton Eskimos in 2010.
