The Carolina Panthers have hired Dan Morgan as their general manager and president of football operations.
The Panthers announced the decision on Monday. Morgan played linebacker for seven seasons with the Panthers and rejoined the franchise in 2021 as the assistant to then-general manager Scott Fitterer. The Panthers fired Fitterer in January on the heels of a 2-15 season.
Morgan first joined the Panthers as a first-round pick out of Miami in the 2001 NFL draft. He played his entire NFL career in Carolina including for the 2003 team that made the franchise’s first Super Bowl. He earned a Pro Bowl berth after the 2004 season.
After retiring as a player in 2007, Morgan joined the Seattle Seahawks as a player scout in 2010. He spent eight seasons in Seattle’s front office, his last three as the director of pro personnel, where he oversaw pro scouting efforts.
In 2018, Morgan joined the Buffalo Bills as the director of player personnel. He held the position for three seasons before re-joining the Panthers in 2021 as assistant general manager.
