2022 Fantasy Outlook
Although he ranked third on the Panthers with 104 tackles, Thompson still topped the century mark in the category for a third straight campaign. The veteran also did so while missing three games, yet he contributed a pair of sacks and interceptions apiece to boot. As one of Carolina's defensive leaders, Thompson again should play a key role in 2022, when he'll headline a new-look linebacking corps following the offseason signings of Damien Wilson and Cory Littleton.

Staying with team
Thompson agreed Saturday to re-work the remainder of his two-year contract with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran linebacker had an untenable $24.6 million cap hit entering Saturday, prompting many to assume Thompson would be a cap casualty. Instead, the valued leader will return for his ninth year with the franchise and try to add onto his string of four straight seasons with 100-plus tackles.

In his first pro season without Panthers legend Luke Kuechly next to him, Thompson rose to the occasion of his newfound leadership role. He played all 16 games for the first time in his six-year career, enabling him to post a new personal best of 114 tackles. With back-to-back seasons of 100-plus stops, the 27-year-old has developed into a consistent difference maker in the middle of Carolina's defense and will hope to maintain his performance in a similar situation in 2021
