CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro Bowl outside linebacker Thomas Davis plans to play at least one more season, but it won't be for the Carolina Panthers.
Davis, 35, announced Wednesday night in a video on social media that the Panthers informed him on Monday they were going in "a different direction at the linebacker position" and would not be re-signing him.
"Carolina is going to always be home for me and my family, but I'm not retiring,'' said Davis, selected by Carolina out of Georgia with the 14th pick of the 2005 draft. "I feel like I have way too much football left in me to walk away from the game right now, so I want to keep playing.
