Thomas Williams to replace Thomas Davis?

So who is in line to step up and replace TD? Thomas Williams looked pretty dang sharp in preseason action. He hits hard, reads plays well, and moves quickly. Met him briefly at training camp. Doesn't matter when it comes to on-the-field play, but he was a really genuine and nice guy.

From what I read on here I believe, his scouting report said that he doesn't have the best sideline to sideline speed, so I wouldn't really want him to be man to man against TE's if that is correct. With that said though,

He has a great motor and never seems to want to stop. I'd like to see how he could get on the field, but like other people have said, I think Gaither will eventually be the starter since TD is down. I believe thats why we even brought him here, Sean knew him in Philly, good depth and good insurance if someone went down on the outside. He reminds me of a certain LB that we use to have that could play almost any LB position named Chris Draft.

you can't really replace Davis. He has a very unique skill set. I don't think the defense was built around him but things will probably be much different from now on.

Thanks for the memories TD but lets face it he is done. For his own sake he should hang it up. I think the Panthers did right by him with the money.

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
