Former Panthers GM Scott Fitterer Joins Commanders Front Office

Scott Fitterer, the former general manager of the Carolina Panthers, has been hired by the Washington Commanders as a personnel executive, following his tenure that ended with the Panthers finishing 2-15 without a first-round draft pick. Fitterer, who had been with the Panthers for three years, notably orchestrated trades involving key players like Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore, while also acquiring the first overall pick in the 2023 draft for quarterback Bryce Young. His departure from the Panthers led to internal promotions within the organization. Fitterer's extensive experience in the NFL, including a long stint with the Seattle Seahawks, adds valuable expertise to the Commanders' front office under GM Adam Peters. This move signifies a strategic shift for the Commanders as they strengthen their management team with seasoned professionals from successful NFL franchises.
