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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
