Why would THomas Davis risk coming out and causing further injury in a year that basically has been thrown in the shitter to begin with?

Smart thing for him to do is sit out until the next season whenever that is and be fully healed and ready to go.

I agree. There is no new for him to come back. He comes back for a meaningless season and end up being hurt would be a silly thing to do. He should just focus on conditioning and getting that knee back together. I had a knee injury a few year ago (patellar tendon). Knee injuries are tricky and should be watched carefully. I am still feeling the effects well I'm sure having top trainers help him more than me lol..but yeh..sit out the rest of the season.

Of course he is coming back and it is all about the money. Right now he is damaged goods and he won't get a big contract here or elsewhere. If he can come back and show he can play like he did before the surgeries, his stock goes way up here and elsewhere.

How the Panthers are doing right now won't factor into his decision much at all.

b/c if he doesn't play this year.....he might end up playing for chump change. He can go out and prove he is still the same player these last few games. I think Carolina owes him that. Remember he was one of those guys who got screwed and had to wait another year.

Otah should go to IR.

Or he may have another knee blowout from not being healed up enough and end his career all together. Making "chump change" of several hundred grand a year sure does beat flipping burgers.

If it were me, I wouldn't go back in. He made about 3 mil this year on the bench rehabbing. I would ask for a 1 year contract for next season for a low price to show that I was back, then go after the big bucks.

Athletes all believe that they are 10 feet tall and bullet proof. So yeah he will come back as soon as he can. guys who are cautious and worry about their health or getting hurt, don't play professional football.

They know the window to make money is small and with there no guarantee about football at all next year will want a big contract before the lockout, not in a year or two.

I hear all of you guys ideas. He could reinjure himself by coming back to soon again or he could come out and have a steller remaining season and increase his value. But hopefully his value with us (Panthers) is already set. Davis is great at LOLB in our scheme and I think that his love for the game and desire and competitiveness will bring him back.

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
