DeAngelo Williams: I’d Play For Panthers

Dave Gettleman is out as GM in Carolina and some former Panthers notables are in favor of the surprise firing. The latest to join the fray is former Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams, who previously said that the Panthers were one of four teams that he would refuse to play for in 2017DeAngelo Williams (vertical)

I want to publicly say [the Panthers are] off my list of teams I won’t play for due to the firing of that snake Dave Gettleman,” Williams tweeted.

The 34-year-old Williams spent the first nine seasons of his career in Carolina, but he left with a bad taste in his mouth after clashing with Gettleman. Cornerback Josh Norman and wide receiver Steve Smith left the Panthers with similar feelings and they also took to social media on Monday to celebrate Gettleman’s firing (Twitter links).

Panthers fans shouldn’t go dusting off their Williams jerseys just yet. The team is well stocked at the position with Jonathan Stewart, first round pick Christian McCaffrey, and second round pick Curtis Samuel leading the way. Familiar faces Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne are also under contract.
