Devin Thomas joins Carolina Panthers

Apparently, the Carolina Panthers believe wide receiver Devin Thomas may be able to help them.

The Panthers claimed Thomas, the Redskins' top pick in the 2008 draft, off waivers Monday. The 34th overall selection in 2008, the demonstrative Thomas did not mesh well with Coach Mike Shanahan, who questioned Thomas's professionalism and released him Saturday.

"It's official. I'm a carolina panther!," Thomas wrote on his Twitter account.

In two-plus seasons with the Redskins, Thomas had 40 catches for 445 yards (an 11.1-yard average) and two touchdowns. The former Michigan State standout established career highs with seven receptions for 100 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the eventual Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints last season at FedEx Field.

In a telephone interview shortly after he was released Saturday, Thomas, 23, said he was determined to have a productive NFL career.

"Coach Shanahan called me in and told me it was a numbers game, so they had to do this, but you could see this coming," said Thomas, who had no receptions this season. "But I'll be ready wherever I go next. I'm just going to work even harder. I know I can play this game."

By taking Thomas off waivers, the Panthers assume the remainder of his contract.

      He’s the best QB in the NFL right now. I’ve been saying that going back to the end of 2023. He has done more with less. Give him what the Ravens have and I think he’s got multiple Super Bowls at this point. I know Ravens fans and other people thought Lamar deserved the MVP last year but Allen, and really their last two match-ups, showed why Allen won it.    I don’t know if the Bills have the team to win a Super Bowl but they are good, and that’s because of Allen.    Watching them makes me realize the Panthers will never compete so long as Young is the starter. He just doesn’t have “it”. Maybe it’s a bit unrealistic to compare but Allen’s arm strength is pretty demoralizing.  He threw for 251 yards, in the 4th quarter. Bryce has thrown for 251 yards once or twice?

      So true. Even with Josh Allen's first rough couple of years, you saw the potential with him. He just wasn't consistent, but he would rip off HUGE games both passing and rushing that would make you go "yeah, this dude has the chance to become something". Bryce has NEVER shown that. Not one game where you go "wow, this kid will be a beast". It's been the same sh*t since his first regular season game to now. Xavier Legette the same thing.  TMac today definitely looked the part. Just too bad we paired him with one the worst QBs in the league
