Devin Thomas joins Carolina Panthers

Apparently, the Carolina Panthers believe wide receiver Devin Thomas may be able to help them.

The Panthers claimed Thomas, the Redskins' top pick in the 2008 draft, off waivers Monday. The 34th overall selection in 2008, the demonstrative Thomas did not mesh well with Coach Mike Shanahan, who questioned Thomas's professionalism and released him Saturday.

"It's official. I'm a carolina panther!," Thomas wrote on his Twitter account.

In two-plus seasons with the Redskins, Thomas had 40 catches for 445 yards (an 11.1-yard average) and two touchdowns. The former Michigan State standout established career highs with seven receptions for 100 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the eventual Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints last season at FedEx Field.

In a telephone interview shortly after he was released Saturday, Thomas, 23, said he was determined to have a productive NFL career.

"Coach Shanahan called me in and told me it was a numbers game, so they had to do this, but you could see this coming," said Thomas, who had no receptions this season. "But I'll be ready wherever I go next. I'm just going to work even harder. I know I can play this game."

By taking Thomas off waivers, the Panthers assume the remainder of his contract.

Ok, time for my Crow dinner.

Someone get me the hot sauce.

[rayzor]

booooo.....

anyway, probably someone on the defensive side will get cut.

i can see us going with 6 active WRs to see who steps up though i don't have a clue how that could logistically work.

[Ruff]

Who do we cut for him?

[Gazi]

We're always few days late. Could have used him yesterday

[Gazi]

What's the highest drafted WR we ever had on our roster?

[mav1234]

[rayzor]

We're always few days late. Could have used him yesterday
