CHARLOTTE - The Carolina Panthers have released running back DeAngelo Williamsicon-article-link.gif.

"DeAngelo will forever be remembered as one of the quintessential Panthers of this era," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He holds all of our running back records, and his 20 total touchdowns in the 2008 season was a truly special feat.

"I really enjoyed watching DeAngelo grow over the past four years and wish him nothing but the best moving forward."

Williams is the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns but played in just six games in 2014 and produced a career-low 219 rushing yards and no touchdowns. The Panthers' first-round draft choice in 2006 out of Memphis totaled 6,846 rushing yards on 1,432 carries and 46 rushing touchdowns in nine seasons with Carolina.

 

 

 

 

The Panthers chose to tag Williams' release as a post-June 1 designation. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team can apply the designation to two veterans between the first day of the league year and the final day of May. The salary cap handling for such a release is then treated as if the release had occurred on June 2 or later of the same league year; therefore all amortized bonus amounts that had previously been charged beyond the current league year would not accelerate forward into the league year in which the player is released.

I think it's sad honestly. DeAngelo has been healthy way more than J Stew ever has been. I get it, Stew has less tread, but I wish we could have kept them both. Obviously I wish that JR hadn't chosen to show that he "wasn't cheap" by giving them ridiculous deals, so they were honestly doomed from that point fwd.

So long DeAngelo, you will be missed. I hope you go to another team and show the FO that you are nowhere near done.

Having said all of that, being a fan, obviously I hope that Fozzy ends up eclipsing both Williams and Stew as our all time leading rusher. Is that gonna happen? Probably not, but don't take my dream from me damn you!

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
