Chancellor Lee Adams will be at the game tomorrow

The Carolina Panthers will have a couple of very special guests on the field during the pregame Sunday — Saundra and Chancellor Lee Adams.

“What a nice gesture by the team!” Saundra Adams said Friday. “We are both so excited.”

For the past 19 years, the Panthers have kept far away from this story. They fired Carruth, their former first-round draft pick, in December 1999 after he fled North Carolina in the trunk of a Toyota Camry following the death of Cherica Adams. And that’s been it. The Panthers really haven’t had anything to do with the Adamses in a positive or negative way.

But now Saundra and Chancellor Lee will not only be on the field during pregame, but they will also have lower-level seats for the Baltimore-Carolina contest.

To me, this represents a long overdue step by the Panthers and I applaud them for it. Kudos to Riley Fields, the team’s director of community relations, for making it happen in conjunction with a dedicated Carolina fan named Jason Underwood.

Like Scott Fowler said, this was LONG overdue. I'm very happy that Chancellor Lee Adams and Saundra Adams will be at the game tomorrow!

If it hasn’t happened yet need to formally ban Rae from the stadium.  Period.

Normally I think once people have paid their debt to society for their crime, we're too harsh on them. A felony conviction is pretty much a life ruiner. Can't vote, can't legally own firearms, virtually completely unemployable by any company that does even the most basic of background checks. There really isn't much of an opportunity to actually turn your life around.

But sorry, in this case... fug that guy. What he did is completely unforgiveable IMO and his life should be ruined.

I wonder if the fan that help set this up is on the huddle?

Im sure the only thing that was stopping them from reaching out was Jerry Richardson. SO glad he is gone.

Exactly! It's a shame he never reached out to them. I'm glad he's gone as well.

Not disagreeing with the fug that guy sentiments but his life is ruined.

I wonder how they will handle the announcement. I assume they don’t want to even mention his fathers name.

Great gesture.

Why stop there? Let’s ban him from Charlotte and the entire state as well.
