Scott Fitterer hadn’t been able to relax since mid-January. But it was a sunny Tuesday in Phoenix, and the Carolina Panthers general manager was sitting in a chair on the patio area of the Arizona Biltmore hotel.
Following an exhaustive coaching search, a blockbuster trade for the first overall draft pick and a measured but aggressive spending spree in free agency, Fitterer took a brief pause to catch his breath at the NFL’s annual meeting in the desert.
During that break from the action, Fitterer spoke about his collaboration process with his right-hand men — assistant GM Dan Morgan and vice president of football administration Samir Suleiman — this offseason. Suleiman and Morgan also weighed in on the trio’s work together last week.
