It’s been a rough few months for Panthers fans. First a seven game losing streak that left the team out of the playoffs. Then concerns about the health of Cam Newton and now news that the franchise will not bring back Thomas Davis – one of the squad’s most beloved players.
Fans reacted to the news as one would expect given the season’s disappointment.
Seriously can’t let the man finish his career as a Panther…. disappointing.

And you still let him go when he wanted to retire a Panther…I love the @Panthers, but this franchise sure is a special type of stupid…🤦🏻♂️@ThomasDavisSDTM deserves better than this.

Such a disappointing decision. This ranks right up there with letting 89 go.

Horribly run organization. Hurney and Rivera NEED to go now. Idc if he declined a bit this season, we have NOBODY CLOSE TO HIS LEVEL TO REPLACE HIM. What on earth are we thinking?? Same crap we did with Steve Smith. I hope TD destroys us next year so Rivera and Hurney are gone.

Makes me feel like I am getting ready to watch a rebuild. Excuse me now as I go cry in the shower.
