GM Hurney: Panthers heading in right direction

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have won four games over the past two seasons but don’t expect longtime general manager Marty Hurney to hit the panic button.

That’s not his style.

Hurney has never been a proponent of signing big-name free agents as a quick fix.

Although he wouldn’t rule out the Panthers adding a few pieces in free agency to complement the roster, Hurney says the primary focus will be on adding depth — particularly on defense — while maintaining an emphasis on drafting well and re-signing core players.

It might not sound sexy, but Hurney believes it’s the key to Carolina’s future success.

The Panthers (2-7) look to snap a two-game losing streak Sunday at Detroit.
