The Panthers went to the playoffs in each of Gettleman’s first three seasons at the franchise and appeared in Super Bowl 50 before going 6-10 in 2016.

Although he has been a part of seven Super Bowl teams and 16 playoff sides, the 66-year-old has been let go by Carolina.

“After much thought and a long evaluation of our football operations, I have decided to relieve Dave Gettleman of his duties as general manager,” team owner Jerry Richardson said in a statement.

“I want to thank Dave for the role he played in our success over the past four seasons. While the timing of this decision is not ideal, a change is needed.”

The Panthers open their training camp on July 26.
