Glad they got this worked out.
Panthers agree to terms on reworked deal with Shaq Thompson
CHARLOTTE — The Panthers are moving to a new defensive system this year, but they're bringing an important piece of last year's back with them.
The Panthers agreed to terms on a reworked contract with veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson Saturday.
That move will keep him here for the transition to the 3-4 that new coordinator Ejiro Evero is bringing, and Evero specifically mentioned Thompson as a player he'd want to coach during his introductory press conference in February.
"Those are all questions that are above my pay grade, but if you talk about the player, that's definitely a player I really admire, and I think he's a heck of a player," Evero said when asked about Thompson's future and fit in this scheme. "Definitely would love to coach him.
"(He fits) very well. He's an inside backer, a three-down player. He's a guy that can play the run game. He's good in zone coverage, can see the quarterback, can match running backs; he fits just right."

This is awesome

I’m happy to hear this. Our LBs are a bit thin. We need to bolster the position some. Shaq will play inside and can handle cover on RBs and TEs over the middle as well as play the run. I’m glad to have him back.
I wonder how the contract was reworked.???
