Panthers Re-Sign DT to Begin Busy Offseason

February 11, 2008

In an offseason expected to be loaded with shakeups and shakedowns, the Carolina Panthers have gotten off to a very solid start.  The Panthers re-signed reserve defensive tackle Damione Lewis to a three-year contract on Saturday, and according to Lewis’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the deal should be finalized sometime on Monday.  Obviously, with the deal still being finalized, no actual details of the contract have been fully disclosed. Next week, the Panthers will begin the process of making some cuts, which should prove very interesting for those following the team.

On a completely unrelated note, but still pertaining to the team, if you scroll down to the bottom of this story, the finally paragraph of this article discusses Jake Delhomme’s rehab.  Apparently Delhomme has gotten himself back into shape to the point where he can throw a nerf ball.  While at first this many seem like a silly indicator of progress, this is actually really great news for the Panthers.  If Delhomme is throwing a nerf ball, that means that his arm is now going through the motion of throwing again.  This is a great step toward full recovery for the quarterback.
