The Panthers have made plenty of news this offseason. None has been bigger than this.

The Panthers just announced that General Manager Dave Gettleman has been relieved of his duties the week before training camp begins.

“After much thought and a long evaluation of our football operations, I have decided to relieve Dave Gettleman of his duties as General Manager,” owner Jerry Richardson said in a statement. “I want to thank Dave for the role he played in our success over the past four seasons. While the timing of this decision is not ideal, a change is needed.”

The Panthers are in the midst of a number of contract negotiations with beloved veterans (Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen) and Gettleman drew notorious hard lines with beloved veterans such as Jordan Gross and Steve Smith in the past. That might not have suited Richardson, who takes pride in his relationships with long-time players.

The move leaves them short-handed, as assistant G.M. Brandon Beane left for Buffalo’s G.M. job earlier this offseason.

They pulled a Chiefs lol

I really hope he wouldn't have. That would've been awful.

Most owners are nowhere near as business savvy as they are painted. Jerry Richardson doing this now is moronic just like Clark's move to fire Dorsey when he did.

Clearly owners who made billion dollar corporations are not business savvy at all.

Calling it now...Dorsey to Carolina.

Sure.

Jerry Richardson fires a GM in Gettlemen that unceremoniously released Steve Smith, signs guys to terrible contracts and causes cap issues, while also known as a bad communicator and grump, only to hire John Dorsey, who reportedly shares all of those qualities.

Sounds like a fit.

Clark Hunt didn't "make" anything.

"My wife's brother-in-law's third cousin is from Charlotte, and every year I look forward to getting a Christmas card from them. Now we'll be able to spend the holidays with them!"

Should have worn ties around the office!

But John wants to GM the Packers and only the Packers!

Damn Carolina drafted a QB too?

Clark the trend setter. That is funny.
