1) Fitterer confirmed that the team did have a conversation with another team about trading Teddy Bridgewater. He also said "Teddy is our QB" and a bunch of other nice things about him, that he's very professional and he's been through a lot. Also said he's had some open and honest conversations with him.

2) Was asked about the LT position, Fitterer mentioned Scott, Little, and Daley. He also brought up getting a LT in the draft. He didn't mention Russell Okung. Doubt Okung is back next season.

3) Mentioned Luke is involved in the free agency scouting process. Was great to hear, love that Luke is still involved with the team. 

4) Panthers are going nickel and dime store shopping in Free Agency again ala the Dave Gettleman era.

5) Fitterer speaks like someone who has a good understanding of the roster so far, but I can't help but wonder how much of a figurehead he is since most of the front office is still intact aside from Hurney being gone.

Don't be surprised if there are several changes made after the draft.

More than one person has suggested Dan Morgan might come aboard at some point. Having him as an assistant GM would make a lot of sense.

He was referring to the package they offered Detroit for Stafford that was leaked which obviously included Teddy.

Not sure if I agree with this.  Seems more like Hurney was kinda the last to go, and a lot of the FO turned over between the time Tepper took over and Hurney being let go.

There are really only two executive level names still entrenched from the Richardson era: Executive Director of Player Personnel Jeff Morrow and Director of Pro Personnel Matt Allen, who also happens to be Jerry Richardson's grandson.

Morrow has the same title as Pat Stewart, just with "executive" in front of it. As to Allen, Tepper's previously indicated that pro scouting was a weakness in our organization, primarily citing Marty.

I won't be surprised if one or both end up gone, maybe to Washington (they just hired the last guy we fired in Bryan Porter).

Did nobody ask him anything about Watson, that would seem weird with all the reports coming out that we are definitely interested 

I didn’t hear it brought up with Fitterer but I believe it was brought up with Rhule

      I moved to Atlanta for work, in June 1995. Almost the same for a Panthers fan.  This was pre internet at least for me, and there was no coverage unless we played the Falcons.  As a Panthers fan I hated that because I was super excited we had our own team finally and I was missing it.  I remember going to a bar and watching us beat SF maybe in our first year. But not much chance to watch games.  This prompts me to bitch that an expansion team’s first year was better than anything Tepper has been able to assemble.

      I get what you're trying to say, but I have seen Tetairoa open a plenty and  Hunter Renfrow open a plenty, but Bryce just misses what are supposed to be routine throws. Bryce's arm isn't Mahomes' arm, and he certainly doesn't have the plus mobility (basically the backyard-ball mentality and athleticism to run around until someone's open) and ability to make throws off platform that Mahomes' does.  We also have at least two TEs that get open on the regular, as well as two RBs that can catch and get open as well. Not to mention that Jalen Coker gets open on the regular when in. I just ain't buying that he doesn't have enough weapons. Legette gets open at times as well, not to mention Tremayne. If Bryce would just time his passes better and do it more consistently, it would open up the offense. His issues, at least in my mind, come down to one main thing: his height. He developed consistently bad mechanics over the years to overcome his inability to see the field, and while he got away with it pre-NFL, in the NFL where guys are a little bigger, a lot faster, and more experienced with decidedly more motivation to consistently do their jobs, Bryce is coming up short.
