Found an article reporting Hollis Thomas has been drafted by Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL.

Wish we could have kept him. He exceeded expectations during his tenure here.

He is probably just trying to stay in football shape hoping someone gets injured somewhere and he gets picked up like he did by us last year. He still plays as a pretty high level given his size and age.

Thomas looked good here but a lot of that was because of how poorly all the other DT's around him were playing. He's pretty much the only DT we had all season that didn't get pushed around.

Yea and thats why I dont understand why he dose not get a Roster spot and Nick Hayden loses his.

Like rayzor said I think this year is about venturing into the untested more so than keeping old vets to give solid, substantial results on a consistent basis. The Panthers would rather see what they have to work with and start this year rather than keep Thomas and have the position be a ? next year. This year is the year to do it.

now if the DT position struggles during the season and is a liability then i see them doing much of what they did last year which is keep going out and trying to find someone to stop the gap, but i don't expect that to be really until after the bye week unless it gets really bad early on.

Well sure. But for backups sake. I would imagine he'd have rather stayed here than go to the semi pros

i would imagine he would rather have never left the saints and gotten a ring with them.

for the record, hollis is one of the few guys i wish they had made an exception for and kept around....even as a backup but i think they also want to see what they have in irvin and ed johnson can do and, as much as i hate/don't understand, nick hayden.

i'm not at all in love with the idea of ed johnson, either. not me making the calls, though.

i still dont understand why nick hayden has a job with the panthers, soon as the panthers release him watch him turn into a jovan haye.lol.
he's not making it happen here so i'm not interested in keeping him around. i don't care what he does with another team. if he can't/isn't doing it here...i don't want him. same with haye.

      NextGen Passing Chart - Week 3

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I was here the past two weeks while you dominated every thread with constant complaining. I decided I wasn't going to try even posting with all that negative crap. All of you would  have found great amusement in trying to attack anyone with a more reasoned  positive approach. So I waited until now to come here to celebrate a win. Not to champion Bryce. It was only after you and others make negative comments despite the huge win that I commented. I am a Panther fan not a Bryce fan or Bruce hater. I will support him as long as he is a Panther. After that he is largely dead to me. But again won't go back and forth. I have nothing to defend and just going to enjoy the win.

      Bar is on the floor boss.  And he remains way too inaccurate even in the most conservative asks of a gameplan.

      Josh Allen is a playmaker and the closet thing to Cam Newton the league has seen.  So yeah, Bryce isn’t…..just like Josh Allen  Buffalo does not have better personnel than us across the board on offense.  Their leading WR last year was freaking Shakir followed by a disappointing rookie season by rookie WR.  We had the most expensive OL in the NFL last year.  A rock solid backfield.  With comparable WR talent.  If give them a clear TE edge but it’s a wash given out OL investment.  what they do have is a QB that makes everyone human in the field around him better.
