SPARTANBURG, S.C. — As Sam Darnold walked off the practice fields at Wofford College on Monday, Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer pulled him aside for a quick conversation.
Unannounced to Darnold, a report surfaced early Monday that the Panthers may be actively shopping him as the team began to practice. Fitterer told Darnold to “not worry” about any trade rumors.
Shortly after the report — which was later deleted — The Charlotte Observer reported that the Panthers were “not shopping” Darnold, citing multiple league sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
