CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers announced they offered their general manager position to Seattle Seahawks vice president of football operations Scott Fitterer.
It is unclear whether or not Fitterer plans to accept the position as negotiations were ongoing.
Fitterer has been with the Seahawks since 2001, where he effectively operated as a co-assistant GM under John Schneider. He has worked with three head coaches during that span, with his focus primarily on evaluating incoming college talent.
If he accepts the position, Fitterer is expected to have final say in personnel decisions in Carolina, although coach Matt Rhule will still have an input.
