TD not returning per WFNZ

[Carl Spackler]

Disappointing. But at least we know it won’t be the dumbest decision we’ll make this offseason. The night is young. 

Wonder if Panthers2019 will see this.

2018: Davis was ranked 19th among all linebackers by PFF. His production has not dipped. 

The optics are pretty unprofessional. 

Whatever. They got this, right?

Mixed feelings, man. Bittersweet.

1.) Thanks for the memories TD. Hell of a career and youre one of the GOATs

2.) I believe in Shaq so I support this, but I wonder how exactly it went down. Did TD refuse a smaller role or want too much money? Seems like a no brainer depth piece if he was willing to be one, but the fact that he’s shopping around tells me he probably wanted more.

3.) I really wish he would just retire. He’s on the decline, his legacy is here, I don’t see him producing like Smith did post Carolina for example. Guy’s got a lot of love for the game but go home to the family bro and enjoy life in the sunset. Unless he ends up on a contender this seems so unnecessary. 

4.) Sad as this video is I am very encouraged to see that we’re leaving the sentimentality and family loyalty behind with JR. Likewise though I’m glad they did this with more tact than Gettleman used to.

I don’t believe in Shaq at all because he blows ass. I like the guy, but he sucks at what he does. I’m pissed off that nobody from the 2015 team will retire here except CJ and Kalil. I’m also pissed off that TD backed out on his promise to retire. I get annoyed when guys announce their retirement, then change their minds to chase a check or a ring.

hurney will replace him with some poo tier free agent and a 6th round 223 lb stickman that barely qualifies to play STs

Wait, so Hurney actually cut an aging veteran that if some on the huddle are to be believed conspired with Jerry Richardson to run Dave Gettleman out of town, and this is the best you can come up with?

How's Shaq Thompson working out for us again?

[KillerKat]

Shaq is turrible

[Carl Spackler]

I’m gonna pencil us in for a “We Shouldn’t Have Dropped TD” thread by Week 7, anybody want some action on this?

[Vinício Grossi]

No more family atmosphere in Charlotte.

It’s business now!!!

[Trill OG]

People thinking this paves the way for Shaq Thompson?

I wouldn't be so sure he is a lock to come back. We cut him and save 9 mil. You telling me I couldn't find a cheaper option in FA better than Shaq Thompson?

I think we may have a new group of LB's next year with Kuechly.

[ellis]

This doesn’t feel like a great business move. On any front. 

[Icege]

And it is done :( :( :(

[GeorgeHanson]

To his credit he handled that pretty well. 

Shame he wasn't as up front in his last video of note.

Will be interested in seeing what kind of offer he may or may not get.  Will also be interested to see how his show-runner handles it, she may not be as gracious!

[Car123]

Wouldn't be surprised if we draft an OLB in round 1.

Kalil and Short were not great business moves

Davis basically begged to come back for a low-ball/reasonable deal.
