Panthers LB Thomas Davis tears another ACL

[Swarly]

if Davis injured himself, and the Panthers took back their tender(even though they aren't allowed to) this board would be lit up with posters angry about how the Panthers screwed over Davis and how Jerry was an asshole etc

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Are there not injury clauses in tender contracts? Just legitimately curious there.

Once he signs his tender he gets paid no matter what. Plus if he thought he wasn't healing properly he would have signed his tender earlier. There is no reason he would hurt himself and jeopardize his future when he was going to get paid anyway. The whole idea is ridiculous.

The only thing I can really say about this is that at least it isn't Beason.

Saints fan here,

I, and most Saints fans, are sorry to hear about the injury to Davis. We all see him as a real good dude and a good player. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope for him to continue his career next season.

We actually have a thread on it over in our area

You guys are welcome to chime in over there on that thread or any other for that matter

And as long as we don't say anything bad about the Saints we won't be banned. Sorry some of us have already been there and found that SR doesn't tolerate any real discussion by rival fans or anything that isn't pro-saints. It is the most biased board I have ever visited. No thanks.

No I won't disagree with you there. It can be way too strict at times, but as a Saints' fan, it's the best place to find news and conversation with fellow Saints fans. There are plenty of other teams fans on there, but if it isn't your cup of tea, then that's cool.

On another note, I'm not saying this to start anything, but if you guys don't re-sign David for next year, I can definitely see us going after him. We love bringing in players from other teams with big injuries. The few recently off the top of my head that I can think of are

Vilma-Jets, knee, 2008

Shockey-Giants leg, 2008

Dan Morgan-Panthers, no explination there

Brees-Chargers, shoulder 2006

Jimmy Wilkerson-Bucs, ACL, 2010

Clint Ingram-Jags, knee, 2010

We were even supposed to be bringing in Kemoeatu for a visit this year

Well this season is starting off well...

Just looked at your board and saw that you guys were high on him coming out of college. However, he has stated he wants to retire as a Panther. Nonetheless every man has a price right?

On another note I would be careful mentioning Dan's name on this board he sometimes lurks in the shadows.

[PhillyB]

top ten defense without him last year - we'll be alright. sucks but we'll be alright.

Goddammit! You've got to be fugin' kidding me! One of my favorite fuging players, fug this bullshit, I'm fugin' out!

I definitely don't have any hard feelings towards him. What I meant by no explination needed there was that I know you guys are obviously very fimiliar with his situation. When he came to us we had were hoping to put him next to Vilma and watch them two blow things up, but unfortunately it never worked out that way. I have nothing but best wishes for Dan, as do most Saints fans,
