Panthers president Morrison resigns

The Carolina Panthers announced the resignation of team president Danny Morrison on Thursday.

"I have enjoyed my time with the Panthers and want to thank (team owner/founder Jerry) Richardson and everyone involved with the organization," Morrison said in the announcement. "This is something I have been thinking about for a while and the timing is right with the start of the business year. We have made great progress in a number of areas, but there are other endeavors, particularly on the college level, that interest me as a final chapter in my career."

Morrison served as team president since September 2009, coming from Texas Christian University and helped the Panthers win three straight NFC South titles from 2013-2015.

Richardson thanked Morrison for his contributions.

"Danny has made significant contributions to the Panthers over the last seven years and provided guidance to our business operations," Richardson said. "He came to us from a college background and learned the NFL quickly. Danny has great integrity and embodies our core values. We thank him for his contributions and wish him the best."

No replacement has been named.
