Released by the St. Louis Rams on Tuesday, veteran defensive tackle Hollis Thomas visited the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday. Injuries have left the Panthers thin at defensive tackle, with former Ram Damione Lewis the only experienced player still healthy.

At this point i dont even care. If he can get some good push still and allow Peppers and Brown/Brayton/Johnson to get free more, let him loose. Cant hurt at this point. Must be cheap though!

I'm sure at 35 years old he'll be excited to go from one 0-3 team to another.

2 rams 2 weeks in a row? why aren't we picking up released talent from the Giants, Ravens, Jets, etc...?

[Saint J]

He's been done since training camp of 2008.

I doubt that. He's probably done in the NFL but with our DT situation, who knows, we still might pick him up.

Oh... just a reminder, this guy is coming off his suspension soon and will be available to play week 5.

And still unsigned

I wonder how expensive he would be and if the Panthers could afford him,if they were interested in obtaining him?:confused5:

I would love to see something worked out to get him in here ASAP.
