Carolina Panthers fire GM Scott Fitterer after 3 seasons

The Carolina Panthers fired general manager Scott Fitterer Monday on the heels of the team’s third consecutive losing season under his watch, the team announced Monday.

Fitterer, who joined the organization to work alongside former head coach Matt Rhule in 2021, was given full control of the roster for the first time this season. The Panthers were the worst team in the league, becoming the first franchise to finish 2-15 since the NFL expanded the regular season to 17 games. In three seasons under Fitterer, the Panthers were a cumulative 14-37.

“As we move forward with the new direction for our franchise, I have made the decision that Scott Fitterer will no longer serve as our general manager,” Panthers owner David Tepper said. “I appreciate Scott’s efforts and wish the best for him and his family.”

Fitterer was part of the deal that gave Carolina the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, sending wide receiver D.J. Moore and a collection of picks to Chicago. This gave the Panthers Bryce Young, but it’s been all downhill from there. As a result of Carolina’s two wins, the Bears once again have the first overall pick and could draft a quarterback to replace Justin Fields, or if they choose, make another huge trade to acquire more assets. #NFL #Sports #Panthers
