Washington Commanders Hire Former Carolina Panthers General Manager
The Washington Commanders continue to make changes and additions to their front office as their attempt at a franchise turnaround continues.
In doing so, the Commanders gave Scott Fitterer a job after six months of unemployment, hiring the former Carolina Panthers general manager. The former general manager is joining Washington as a personnel executive — helping both the front office and scouting departments.
Fitterer has been around the league for quite a while, spending two decades in player personnel roles, climbing the ladder after starting his career in the New York Giants front office. A bulk of his career came with the Seattle Seahawks before landing the general manager job with the Panthers.

The former Panthers general manager struggled during his time with Carolina, posting a 14-37 record and going through multiple head coaches in a short stint. Now, he joins the Commanders, helping general manager Adam Peters navigate a new era under new owner Josh Harris.
The new opportunity is a potential redemption for Fitterer after a poor stint as a general manager. Peters has already begun acting on his plan for the franchise, and Fitterer can help him make sound moves and return the team to Super Bowl contention.
