Ladies and gentlemen, it finally happened. Ian Thomas is no longer a member of the Carolina Panthers. According to Adam Schefter on X, the Las Vegas Raiders have swooped in and stolen Thomas from right under Dan Morgan’s nose.
Thomas was originally a fourth round pick by the Panthers in 2018. Since then, he has been a stalwart offensive presence through seven head coaches and ten starting quarterbacks. In spite of this turnover, his production never wavered. Only near the end of his tenure, when hobbled by injury, did Ian Thomas begin to show cracks in the marble foundation.
