Thomas would prefer to retire in Carolina

[Floppin]

Panthers restricted free agent WLB Thomas Davis said ideally he'd like to sign a long-term deal with Carolina. "It's definitely my preference," Davis said. "I'm from Georgia, so I'm close to home. I love Carolina and they have been good to me and my family. I'm excited about being here and I want to finish my career here."

This may have been quoted somewhere else, I apologize if it has. This has been assumed by a lot of people, but it's good to hear him say it.

Nope, I think your good. This is news to me, and it really brightens my day. Glad to see one of the best wants to stay in the Good Ol' NC.

i hope so, keeping him and beason around as long as possible will make our LB core one of the best in the league for a long time.

i know a lot of guys say this type of thing, but part of me thinks he really means it. I see him at almost every bobcats game that i attend.

Most folks prefer to play for the team that drafted them. That is until the money is involved. Players and agents know this is a business and that is the bottom line. As long as we pay him fairly he will stay here. He won't pull a Peppers on us.

Just from reading his Twitter, Chris Harris seems like the kind of guy who supports the other professional teams in the city he plays for, since he's heavily rooting for the Chicago Blackhawks at the moment.

TD was at a benefit party at my best friend's parent's house - they couldn't believe how nice he was. Friend's dad was showing him around the house and in the office dad had a Panthers football. TD asked why it didn't have autographs and dad said that he was 64 years old and just didn't have the time nor inclination to get autographs. TD said that he'd take it to the stadium and get all the players to sign it.

Harris said on FNZ shortly after the trade back to Chicago that one of the things he would miss the most about Charlotte was attending Bobcats games.

Reading the title of this thread made me think it was talking about Hollis Thomas.

well i was going to respond but the op's avatar told me better

Davis said that he wanted to retire Panther right after he messed up his knee. It was during an interview with Power 98 here in Charlotte.

I hope we get to keep him here

u r definately right about being one of the top lb corps for a long time. i hope TD retires as a panther becuz he has been nothing but great for us. he is def a top 5 WLB in the game.

Good to hear, it seems like a lot of the players enjoy playing for this team.
