Davis hints at playing elsewhere

[thefuzz]

TD is possibly my favorite panther of all time.

 

However, this is getting old.  Cry to the heavens that you will "never wear another uniform"...yea, that will cement your legacy with every panther fan.  Then...when you want a little extra money, go the exact opposite way.

Sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all vs. have to go back and eat those words that felt good at the time.

He will be in Pittsburgh. Don't argue with me because I'm not going back and forth with you. Mike Tomlin wants him. With the current staff leaving more than likely, what leverage is it for him to stay? Ron blew it and now he's chippy with the media because his 2 week notice is in effect.

Sorry TD...it’s not too early. Legend but it’s time.

[MountaineerChemist10]

If he does go somewhere else, it'll be either the Giants or Bills. No doubt about it.

[mc52beast]

Is there someone on the roster better than TD?

Any free agents out there worth signing?

Anyone in the draft that would step in and take his spot?

Bring him back on a “mercenary” contract and let him be able to say he played his whole career in Carolina

Tons of legendary players end up finishing their careers elsewhere than where they made their mark. It may happen with TD. But honestly, I'd rather let Shaq and his $10M cap hit walk and give TD another year. TD has lost a step, but he's still a better LB than Shaq and Shaq isn't worth anywhere near his next year's cap hit.

A.) think it's 9 million could be wrong

B.) I agree 10 mill is too much a year for Shaq

 

C.) imo Shaq has played better than TD this year, outside of the saints game. Td missed a ton of tackles early in the year 

 

D.) I'd rather sign Shaq to an extension now at 7-8 mill a year and bring td back on a vet min next year.

Or the falcons... 

 

And I doubt the giants Gettleman was trying to get rid of td. Hence why td whined and got Gettleman fired

Sorry, this isn't a mom and pop run charity anymore.  Ron would turn this team into a retirement community if you allow him to.  It's half way there now.

It's past time to move on.  

Could agree with this IF there was a better player on the team to take his spot.

I'm hoping there is already.  My lack of confidence in the coaching staff in developing him has tempered my expectations a bit.  I'm reserving final judgement until the new front office sets the roster.

[Skack25]

Maybe he will give us a break financially so he can ride off into the Charlotte sunset.  I think he's still got some juice left.  One year at least.

We need to get younger.

But don't we owe Davis for his years of service? 

[luke262]

He is more than capable of a role, hell he started last Monday and had a hell of a game, like I said, more than capable

Some interesting info there about "homies company", first I've heard it.  Did he actually say that on the record?

I too thought he should name the exact supplement, the manufacturer, and where he bought it --- clears his name straight away....but, we all know it wasn't a supplement.

Funniest related thing I saw was his wife bloviating on twitter and suggesting it might have been his "shampoo"....I kid you not.

Its the 14th segment down, shortly after TD saying "I tell the truth"..... ironic.

Davis said the illegal substance was the only PED he was using and he doesn't use it anymore. He would not give the name of the substance because he is "good friends with the owner of the company.''

  The NFL changes rules so much it's hard to keep up but in the past, a couple of cases where over-turned due to company malpractice(even one due to a Mexico restaurant receipt) . Also the excuse for " I used all the pills, nothing to test" is wack too. Companies make batches and have records of sells, making it easy to track down a bottle made at the same time. TD had an answer for everything tho and cause he's a great community member everyone should just believe him....
