CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added a pair of internal candidates for the GM job in addition to the 10 external candidates confirmed so far. 

The team will interview assistant GM Dan Morgan and vice president of football administration Samir Suleiman for the role. 

Morgan, the Panthers' 2001 first-round pick, was the foundation of a dominant defense that led the team to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season. He had 25 tackles in that game against the Patriots. He worked in the Seahawks' and Bills' front offices before coming home in 2021. 

Suleiman also interviewed for the GM job in 2021 and oversees the team's salary cap strategy and contract negotiations. He came to the Panthers after an eight-year stint with the Steelers and has also worked for the Rams and Jaguars.
