Carolina Panthers Release LB Shaq Thompson, Enter Free Agency

News summary

The Carolina Panthers have announced that they will not re-sign veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson, allowing him to enter free agency. Thompson, drafted in the first round in 2015, has been a key leader for the team but has struggled with injuries, playing only six games over the last two seasons. General manager Dan Morgan emphasized the team's appreciation for Thompson's contributions and leadership during his tenure. The decision reflects a shift towards younger talent, as Thompson's injuries and age may hinder his ability to contribute effectively moving forward. Fans have expressed mixed emotions about the move, acknowledging Thompson's past impact while recognizing the need for the team to evolve. This marks a significant change in the Panthers' defense strategy as they look to rebuild for future success.
