Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis jokes at times that he’s a “lifer” in Charlotte, and based on a report from NFL Media on Friday, he will end up as one.
Davis told Brooke Cerosimo of the outlet that 2018 will be his final season as an NFL player, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who tweeted the news on Friday afternoon. Davis will reportedly be in studio with the outlet this weekend.
During the team’s locker cleanout last week following a wild-card loss to the New Orleans Saints, Davis said he expects to play a “reduced role” on defense in 2018.
