Carolina Panthers assistant general manager Dan Morgan will have a chance to knock the “assistant” part of his title off.
As first reported by ESPN’s David Newton on Tuesday morning, Morgan will interview for the team’s general manager opening. He is now the ninth known candidate for the position.
Morgan’s first run in Charlotte began almost 23 years ago, when he was selected by the Panthers with the 11th overall pick of the 2001 NFL draft. In addition to being part of the franchise’s first-ever NFC championship-winning team in 2003, the University of Miami linebacker also earned a Pro Bowl nod for his 102-tackle campaign in 2004.
After retiring from the game in 2010, Morgan began his front office career as a scouting intern with the Seattle Seahawks—alongside then-area scout Scott Fitterer. He’d then earn promotions to the assistant director of pro personnel post in 2011 and the director of pro personnel post in 2015.
Morgan has been serving as Carolina’s assistant general manager since 2021.
