Thomas Davis contract extension in the works.

Thomas Davis

Recently Thomas Davis sat down with Bill Voth from the good old Black and Blue Review and chatted about TD's off season since winning the man of the year award. TD had a handful of positive and interesting things to say.

Since winning the award TD says that his foundation is receiving significantly more support both financially and from addition volunteers. It's great to see that the attention that comes with winning the man of the year award has been valuable and helped him to accomplish even more in the community. The entire Panthers organization and fan base are lucky to have such a high character player in the locker room. I honestly believe the Panthers have one of, if not the best locker room atmospheres in the NFL and Thomas Davis is a big part of that. Many of the players that were resigned raved about how the Panthers truly feel like a family like Dickson, Cole and Webb, even Ted Ginn.

After some of Dave's actions as a stern GM, some on the outside wondered if the atmosphere in the organization was changing from family to more of a business. It's great to see that the locker room is as strong as it as ever been and players enjoy being a part of this team. Thanks to that strong family atmosphere we can all smile with the confirmation that Thomas Davis is working on a contract extension and is adamant that he will never play for another team.

"We’re trying to get something worked out. It’s a process, but I’m not stressing over it one bit," Davis said, before repeating his promise to play for just one team. "Really and truly, I just want to be here. I want to play football here. If I’m not playing here, I’m not playing football."

Most everyone expected Thomas Davis to get some kind of an extension this season, both to keep him here longer and reduce his cap figure. It's just nice to see that Dave knows we need to lock up TD and is going to make sure it happens. It's also nice to see that Dave is still busy at work behind the scenes working on contract extensions for players in general even with the Draft quickly approaching. Good news all around for Panther nation.

Enjoy your weekend!
