Damione Lewis Cut!

I can buy into Peppers being worth $20 million a year a whole lot easier than I can Lewis being worth $5 million. Lewis should have never been the starter on that line anyway. And I'm glad that it doesn't look like he will be re-signing because I think that means that the Panthers are already looking at an upgrade. And I have a feeling that person isn't already on the roster, no proof, just a feeling.

I called this in my Mock Offseason.

I wish Damione Lewis best of luck, but we have solid depth at the position already. Plus I still think we need to draft a DT early in the draft, the DT class in the draft is too good to pass up.

I strongly suspect that we will be looking for a 1-technique DT in the draft.

We have 2 NT already in Kemo and Louis Leonard. If we resign Thomas we will have 3. What we really need is a 300+ 3 technique DT. Jenkins was the last one we had that really fit in that role.

Met Lewis at a Charity paintball game put on by DeAngelo Williams back in 2008, (bent my tailgate out of place on my truck when he sat on it for a min.lol) he didn't strike me as being as good as some think, he was so winded after one 15 min round that he barely moved in that he pulled out of the rest of the game.

Hence why he's fine on short rotations but not good as the man, I think his wieght is too much for him IMO

I agree. Seems like Meeks is trimming the Fat. The Panthers have signed a whole bunch of DTs so they might be what Meeks wants and Lewis is not. Or he could have just cost too much.

What are you talking about? Duke Robinson is an OG.

I thought maybe they were gonna try him out on the defensive side of the ball. I actually remember a thread where someone even suggested that.

Maybe Kemo is doing better than we think.

I really hope Kemo gets back but I think he will be on PUP to start Training camp. Leonard seems to be high on Meeks list and I really think Thomas could play another year or two if we let him.
