Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer declined to comment on the team’s quarterback situation in his introductory press conference today. Fitterer would not give an assessment on Teddy Bridgewater or any other players.
He did say that the only one he’s spoken to so far is Jeremy Chinn, who was a candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year until he got overtaken by Chase Young in Washington.
Scott Fitterer declines to give an assessment of Teddy Bridgewater. Says the only player he's spoken to is Jeremy Chinn b/c they have a mutual friend. Looking fwd to speaking to Christian McCaffrey, others and "getting back to football."

Fitterer can be as diplomatic as he wants. The writing is on the wall for Bridgewater in any case.
In his end-of-season press conference, head coach Matt Rhule said “we’ll see what happens” when it comes to the QB situation and team owner David Tepper threw shade at Teddy in a Thursday interview talking about the GM hiring process.
For what it’s worth, Fitterer helped set up the draft board that got the Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson in the third round back in 2012.
