Carolina Panthers Fire GM Scott Fitterer

The Carolina Panthers have fired general manager Scott Fitterer, the team announced Monday morning. 

The move comes after the Panthers finished with a 2—15 record and ended the 2023 season with back-to-back shutout losses. Panthers owner David Tepper appears to be cleaning house for 2024, as he sacked coach Frank Reich in late November.

Fitterer, who spent time in the Seattle Seahawks organization prior to his Panthers tenure, was hired in January 2021 during the Matt Rhule era. The 50-year-old executive was reportedly a main advocate of the Panthers’ efforts to trade up for the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which ended up being Alabama quarterback Bryce Young; Carolina gave up this year’s No. 1 pick as part of that trade, among other assets.
