The Carolina Panthers have agreed to hire Scott Fitterer as general manager.

"We went through a thorough process, and it was a great final four," Panthers owner David Tepper said. "We thought Scott was the best fit for the organization."

He was picked over three other finalists, Kansas City Chiefs assistant director of player personnel Ryan Poles (35), San Francisco 49ers vice president of player personnel Adam Peters (41) and Tennessee Titans vice president of player personnel Monti Ossenfort (42).
