Dont forget Rivera is a D and special teams guru. The TDavis move is a no brainer. he comes back and plays for nothing and balls out all yr to collect incentives. win win. Conner wants big money, let him have it. win. I say shop the 9 pick..drop and pick up J Jenkins w our first pick. so many dt in the draft..easy 2nd round pick ups. more winning. Watch Rivera work his magic this summer, we will be the talk of the nfl much like our offnse was.

Why do you guys keep saying how stupid it was to keep TD and let Dan Connor go? TD is an OLB Connor is a MLB and will never start over the “beast” Beason…..thats why Connor didnt stay, he said he would love to stay in Carolina but knew he could never start a top Beason.

It’ll be awesome if he works his way back to make NFL history . . .

I like the move, but it is way risky… The guy can play, no doubt, but that ACL issue.

Good for TD and the Panthers. Davis is a total MONSTER when he plays. I hope he proves everyone wrong

Good for him, hopefully he can make it all the way back to play again this year. Always a tough guy to go up against

His leadership and loyalty is unmatchable. One of the best moves Panthers have made. There is something to be said for that.

@ flapjackdaddy

Yeah, first 2 surgeries were by team doctors… third one was by James Andrews, quite possibly the best orthopedic surgeon around. Hopefully getting this done by the best of the best will help his chances of it holding up.

And also, all you people saying why let Conner go and keep TD? Maybe because they play completely different linebacker positions? So they aren’t even battling each other on the depth chart. And with TD making 700K base salary, its not like we are paying out our a$$ to keep him.

This time they took a healthy ligament from his other knee (from the patella) to reconstruct his ACL. The last two times they just ‘fixed’ his original ACL. It’s actually quite likely that he plays this season.

Ouch. Best of luck to him, but I’d start by getting a new surgeon.
