act of desperation: Panthers interested in 35 yr old DT Hollis Thomas

[OneBadassCat]

I wonder how expensive he would be and if the Panthers could afford him,if they were interested in obtaining him?:confused5:

I think we could definitely sign him and I don't he would demand that much. But personally I find him to be a must sign because he could be a catalyst towards saving the season. Plus we would be picking up a good DT which would give us one less problem for the next off season.

[Chaos]

I'm sorry, but did I just read "cut by the Rams"?

Just want to be sure, because if so, that's a total mind-f'er.

[GRWatcher]

lol I don't care who he is. Let's just hope he doesn't get injured all the way to IR in the first game he starts. {{praying smilie}}

Shaun Smith's contract for this season prior to the release/suspension was only 1.1 million so we could bring him in pretty easily. Not sure what the exact cap space is but at worst just restructure someone.

I think he'll want about a million dollars, but I doubt he'll get it. He got suspened for taking a water pill. I'd almost say we're a lock to make him an offer. We've been signing DTs who are worse than this guy.

[Mr. Scot]

If you can make the cap and roster room, you can actually sign both Hollis Thomas and Shaun Smith. Keep Thomas only as long as it takes for Smith to serve his suspension, then let him go.

[Kevin Greene]

I doubt that. He's probably done in the NFL but with our DT situation, who knows, we still might pick him up.

Oh... just a reminder, this guy is coming off his suspension soon and will be available to play week 5.

And still unsigned

This is not a "Jerry Richardson Panther type" football player. Be interesting to see if the Panthers will be willing to compromise their beliefs in hope of salvaging the current season.

[pantherj]

The more we lose, the less I care about water pill suspentions and Jerry Richardson's moral standards.

[d-run]

Who did we cut/IR to sign him?

OMG! We are turning into Raiders fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:puke:

I'm not sure that introducing a guy with a major attitude problem to an 0-3 team is a good idea. Nothing sets off a crazy person like losing... (as evidenced on this board).

came from a few different sources.

they picked up hollis and cut sunny.

daringantt #Panthers get older, bigger at DT: Sign veteran Hollis Thomas, cut Sunny Harris. Harris is a long-term project, they need short-term help.

Uhoh, don't tell fiz

[RazzleDazzle]

Damn, I liked Sunny. Just the fact that maybe he could of been bad ass some day and have the name Sunny was awesome. I am sadly depressed. FML.
