NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports LB Shaq Thompson will remain with the Panthers on a restructured two-year deal.

Thompson was rumored to be a potential cap casualty due to a $24.5 million cap hit in 2023. Although the details of the deal have yet to be announced, it is clear the organization reworked his contract to keep a veteran presence in the second level for a lower number against the cap. All parties should be satisfied as an aging linebacker gets an additional year on his contract while the Panthers retain a defensive captain.

Never seen a player get rewarded so much for mediocre performance.  

I think our need for any sort of decent LB play has been trumping Shaqs actual play on the field for a while now.

Some of you motherfugers are NEVER happy. Jesus Christ. Shaq is a really good player and a leader on our team. It’s a good thing that we’re keeping him.

It's unreal.  I go to the games.  Shaq flies around as much as anyone out there, and he has gotten better in coverage throughout his career.  Him & Burns & Luvu are insanely fast when you see them live.  He still has plenty of juice, unless he falls off a cliff this season.

He is a very good player, but b/c he's not Luke or TD people try to slander him.  Our defense next year is much better with him than without him.

Behind the scenes, Scott Fitterer, Dan Morgan, Frank Reich, Ejiro Evero, & Dom Capers all wanted this to happen.  If that group is not qualified to make that decision and make the right one, I'm hard pressed to believe anyone else on this board is either.

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
