He wasn't the best GM when it came to interacting with players.
I never liked how he handled the end of Steve Smith's career in Carolina.

Should have been fired after not fixing the revolving door at IT which was exposed in the Superbowl loss

Should have fired Ron Rivera for leaving Cam in the game after he had a concussion against the Broncos

This soon to camp means they had a pretty heated argument about something. Probably disagreed on direction of team.

Weird timing with camp opening in a couple weeks.

Probably didn't want to extend Olsen and TD.

Wow.

Just heard this - surprised at the timing but not surprised at the decision.

Glad the Bills got Brandon Beane from them when they did.

Because he sucked arse. Failed to address the most obvious needs of the team the entire time he was there.
I'd be upset about this firing if I was a saints fan, too....

Former players are roasting him on Twitter

I'm betting Jerry Richardson just looked at the Matt Kalil contract.

Difficult to excel as an NFL GM with a shitty quarterback that's getting paid like a top 5 guy

Gettleman was trying to be like Bellicheck, cutting or not extending older players after they have peaked. Charlotte is a small market team with two prominent players seeking extensions, who are quite involved in the local community (local charities, their own foundations, etc). I'm guessing gettleman didn't want to extend Olsen and Thomas Davis's contract, and the "big cat" (Jerry Richardson in Charlotte, Ernie Ladd everywhere else) wanted them to stay.
