In this series we are looking back on Scott Fitterer’s first year as the Carolina Panthers general manager and assessing his performance in salary cap management (you can read that here), free agent signings, the 2021 draft, and player trades. This week we’ll review Fitterer’s 2021 free agent signings.
The grades below reflect how each free agent performed last year relative to his contract. The higher the contract, the higher the expectations. A “C” grade means the player met the expectations of his contract. Anything above a “C” means they exceeded expectations while anything below a “C” means they fell short.
