Thomas Davis' career is coming to a close.

Whether that will be as soon as this weekend depends on the Washington Football Team.

The veteran linebacker said via an Instagram post Tuesday that Week 17 will be his final regular-season game. Of course, Washington (6-9) can extend its season with a win over the Eagles, which would seal the NFC East and a home playoff game.

Otherwise, it will be the final game of Davis' noteworthy, 16-year career. The first 14 came in Carolina, where the 2005 first-round pick out of Georgia made three Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro in 2015 while leading a dominant Panthers defense to the Super Bowl. Davis has accumulated 1,216 tackles, including 90 for loss, 29 sacks, 18 forced fumbles and 13 interceptions, leaving an imprint on all three levels of several strong units.

After spending the 2019 campaign with the Chargers, Davis reunited with Ron Rivera in Washington earlier this year, though he's been a healthy scratch for much of the season. Here's guessing he'll take the field at least one more time Sunday.

Happy to see the love for the Panthers on his cleats. Dude was one tough SOB. Not many people could come back from the injuries he sustained and play as well as he did. Hope he signs a 1-Day contract with us in the end. Either way I believe he deserves to be a part of the Panthers Hall of Honor.

Since i am the kiss of death around the greater Charlotte area, I was at the OTA watching TD do agility drills when he hurt the knee for the second time.  He just fell back and later, walked off the field with not much of a limp.  Later I found out that he injured it again.  I do weddings too.  Give me a call.

If I'm ever having surgery, I'd appreciate you leaving the country for a while.

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
