First off, congratulations are in store for linebacker Thomas Davis. He and the Carolina Panthers have officially agreed to a contract extension that will likely keep him a Panther for life, according to Max Henson of Panthers.com.

When hearing from Davis after the extension, the excitement was obvious when reading what he had to say.

"Signing this extension is something I've wanted to do all along, and it just confirms that I now get to officially end my career as a Carolina Panther and that means the world to me," Davis told Panthers.com. "You see so many guys come through this league that can't say they finished with the same team. It's truly an honor. I feel this is the best organization in the entire league, and I don't take this for granted."

Davis is truly one of the most impressive men in the NFL, as you can tell from his Walter Payton Man of the Year Award from 2015, but he's also an incredible player. He's topped 100 total tackles in each of the last three seasons and is playing incredible football, even at age 32. Here's to seeing him finish out his career in Carolina.
