Many current and former Carolina Panthers have been open about their displeasure with how former general manager Dave Gettleman conducted business with his players. A day after Gettleman was fired, however, one Panther has lent his support to the man.

Offensive tackle Michael Oher relayed a message via Instagram on Tuesday. In it, he said he "hated to hear" that Gettleman had been dismissed as he was one of the few to have kept tabs on him as he recovers from a concussion that limited him to three games in 2016.

Among those to have spoken disapprovingly of Gettleman are former Panthers Jon Beason, Steve Smith, and DeAngelo Williams.
