DeAngelo Williams segment coming up on SportsCenter

[Swarly]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, if so just delete this. Not sure what it's about but I'm sure it's been replaying for a while.

[bleys]

stepped in late, but nice Mickey hat.. lol

"I have never saw me not with the Panthers".. or something close to that..

dude will end up on TV somewhere if he so desires after his career..

[TylerVagyler]

I'm not at a TV and don't know if it's already been mentioned somewhere on here. But an update after segment would be nice.

[Swarly]

basically talked about CBA, same stuff we've heard from other players

they then asked him what he thought about not getting the franchise tag

-said he has never NOT placed himself with the Panthers

-will remain loyal to Panthers(as long as they hold loyal to him), because 26 other teams passed on him

-when he found out Kalil was getting the tag, his reaction was "Kalil's gonna get a lot of money, but oh we get to keep Kalil!"

-says him not getting the franchise tag is a strong indication that they will try to resign him

more talk about the hat and cba/lockout than his future with the panthers...

...but because people want to know, he doesn't see himself not being a panther because when 20 something teams passed him over, carolina gave him a chance.

...and if carolina doesn't resign him, he hopes that one of the 31 others will.

your basic generic response.

[TylerVagyler]

so basically, if the price is right he stays.

They asked him how he felt about the Panthers franchising Kalil as opposed to him?

He said "My initial reaction was like whoa, Kalil is going to be making a lot of money" loll

He then said the Panthers were the team that gave him a chance when 26 other teams passed him up in the draft. He said his whole career has been with the Panthers, and them franchising Kalil means they'll most likely try to resign him.

[Gscottnc5]

basically talked about:

1. CBA

2. If he thinks a deal will get done - Said he was optimistic but is prepared financially if not

3. Asked about Kalil getting the tag. - Said "wow, kalil is getting 10 mil" but also said his first thought was "Cool we get to keep Kalil".

4. Said he is very thankful the panthers took a chance on him and he would be loyal to the panthers if they are loyal to him.

He also said if there's a lockout, he'll be just fine financially. Him having fun is staying at home watching his daughter play video games, or his daughter watching him play video games.

he's always got jokes in his statements. pretty humble guy though.

pretty much

figured it's a nice change of pace from the countless Newton threads all over this forum

[Boltergeist]

He was also on the Bob Stelton Show on our ESPN radio affiliate here in StL

[D34Williams]

He retires here.

[Montsta]

Between the karaoke video and the paintballing, he seems like kind of a big kid. That's awesome. Hope we resign him.

[Zaximus]

I hope we keep him, even though he's getting closer to 30, he's worth it. Not only for his skill, what he's done in the past, but he is classy and has good character, and that's not always easy to find.
