The Carolina Panthers have parted ways with general manager Marty Hurney.
The Panthers announced the decision Monday, saying a search for Hurney's replacement will "begin immediately."
Hurney's contract was set to expire in June.
"I think sometimes you just need a restart, a refresh," Panthers owner David Tepper said as part of an announcement from the team. "We did it last year on the coaching side. Maybe you could say it should have been done before on the GM side. Maybe it should have been. I'm sure people may say that, or otherwise, on both sides.
