UPDATE: Disregard... Apparently CBS is asleep at the wheel. 

 

 

I've seen no other mention of it anywhere else, so. . .

The stipulation was placed in the two-year deal that Davis signed last June, which served to spread out his signing bonus and dampen the salary cap hit. After playing valiantly through a broken right forearm in the Super Bowl, the soon-to-be 33-year-old will have to decide whether the risk of another serious injury is worth it. However, he cobbled together the second-most tackles on the Panthers in 2015 -- or 105, to be exact -- so the production is still in line with his history when healthy.

Is this real? It's says that it was reported by Charlotte Observer, but I see nothing on their page or on Jones/Person's Twitter.

I honestly wouldn't mind it, for three reasons

1.  TD isn't playing for any other team in his career besides the Panthers, he'll retire before playing for anyone else.

2.  Gettleman would do anything necessary to make sure we had the cap room needed to sign him.

3.  This kinda negates point 2, but I have a feeling if TD was a FA, he would go to the team and ask for the vet minimum.  

At this point he just wants that ring and is the ULTIMATE team player, I could absolutely see him as the guy who says use the money elsewhere to make the team as great as possible, the money means nothing to him at this point.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
