Marty Hurney has officially been announced as the general manager for the Carolina Panthers. After serving in an interim role during the entire 2017 season and recently being placed on leave and under an NFL investigation for misconduct, Hurney is again at the helm of the Panthers personnel department.
Serving in the same capacity from 2002-2012, Hurney was replaced by Dave Gettleman after the team struggled to begin his final season. Inheriting a team with a serious cap problem, Gettleman reworked the finances for Carolina while making some tough decisions along the way. Ultimately, it is widely believed that his unwillingness to sign veteran players to significant contracts led to his dismissal prior to the beginning of training camp this past season.
