We talk about offensive evolutions - yes, they’re exciting. But one of my favorite tidbits from my short time covering Carolina is when Rivera said the Panthers drafted Thomas Davis as an LB hybrid to try to contain Michael Vick - then the LB position in CAR was never the same.

Sad day in Panthers history but its time.  I remember him having one really good game out of the dozen I watched this year.  The dude is 35 and should just retire.

So sad to hear this news. TD you exemplify #KeepPounding. Thank you for giving your all. Still expecting to see you in ring of honor / with a statue at BoA. But it hurts that you won't have a Panthers championship ring. Stay strong. We'll miss you 100%

Love TD..but he's my last concern right now.. its the coaching and what philosphy they want! Look at positves and negatives!! Rivera to make the coaching changes then work on players..gees

[Manther]

Didn't think I could feel worse about next year.  Now I do.  I know he's lost a step, just...fuuck, there are so many players I'd be parting ways with before Davis.

[TheSpecialJuan]

We don't need TD, we're fine with Luke, Shaq, and JCarter. We play nickel most of the time so we only need 2 LB's out there.

This year is major changing of the guard.  I don’t mind it as old management tended to hang on to a vet too long, so this is first hand evidence that things are not as they were.

[CMAC22]

Does this mean Shaq is staying we could use that 9 million for our salary cap.

The order we find out is irrelevant.

No shiit sherlock.  My point is there's no guarantee we'll part ways with any of them.  All we know right now, is Davis is gone.  Sad to see him go.

well, this is the cherry on top of a poo sundae of a season.
