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.

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 :D

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

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
