Panthers news: Team fires general counsel Richard Thigpen as Tepper era begins

The Carolina Panthers are continuing an organizational overhaul as another personnel move was made on Wednesday. General counsel Richard Thigpen was fired by David Tepper a move that really comes as no surprise.

Per a report from Darin Gantt of ProFootballTalk.com, Thigpen was the team lawyer and he supervised over the signings of non-disclosure agreements with employees.

Thigpen had been a member of the Carolina Panthers organization since 1997.

In keeping with changing the culture of the organization, Tepper said on Tuesday during his press conference that non-disclosure agreements would be a thing of the past.
