GM DAN MORGAN: WE'LL BE AGRESSIVE THIS YEAR ON THE WAIVER WIRE

I'm looking forward to what Dan Morgan can do this season, as well as Canales and crew.  Last season it was like Fitterer went AWOL early in the season.  I think he saw the writing on the wall.



Panthers GM Dan Morgan: We'll be 'aggressive' on this year's waiver wire (msn.com)

When it comes to the waiver wire, the Carolina Panthers don't even have to call dibs in 2024. They already have them.

President of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan sat down with team reporter Kristen Balboni as part of "The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special," a video released by the organization on Friday. And now that the 2024 NFL draft is in the books, Balboni asked Morgan where he'll begin to focus his attention on moving forward.

"So I think the pretty cool thing about us right now, we don't want this to be every year, but we're first in the waiver wire transactions," he replied. "So anybody that gets cut, we're gonna have first dibs to be able to claim them. I think we'll be aggressive there. I think if the right opportunity presented itself, the right player presented themself—that we'd have the opportunity to claim 'em and get 'em on our roster."
Being at the very bottom of the barrel isn't all bad, right?

Carolina's NFL-worst 2-15 record from 2023 clinched them that No. 1 spot on the waiver wire for 2024—a "luxury" Morgan won't be taking lightly.

"I think it's just always about looking every single day at the waiver wire, who gets cuts," he added. "Once the season starts, same thing—guys are gonna get cut. So, we're gonna be continuously looking to improve the roster in whatever avenue we can."

I think Dan is going to be aggressive with everything.  And smart with it.

So far I am impressed by him.

Fitt seemed like a good guy.  He got the GM job after how many people were interviewed? (15-20??)  He must have been the only one who was happy being subservient to Matt Rhule and then Tepper. Pitiful thing to watch.

Dan Morgan did not seem to take the job under the same conditions.  He worked himself up from the bottom and has learned from a lot of people.  From that he says he has crafted his own way of running a team.  I think he is off to a very good start and expect him to only get better.

He is still working to get his team in place but I have no doubt that every day he wakes up trying to figure out how to make the team better. Every player has to earn their spot.

Best of all....he is a Panther!

1st in the waiver wire?  He hopes never to be here again but will take advantage of it now.

It also tells us he's not satisfied with the 85 man roster... that's good ..
