Future Hall of Fame wide receiver Torry Holt is making it pretty clear he'd like to play for the Carolina Panthers at some point before his career is over.

   The Rams had a minicamp over the weekend, and Holt was asked to elaborate on his comments at a golf tournament in Raliegh last month about joining his brother Terrence and playing for the Panthers. He didn't exactly dismiss the comments, but instead backed them up.

    Holt said he plans to play out the remaining two years of his contract with the Rams, but then the North Carolina native might look to sign with Carolina in 2010.

    “The real story is that I have this year and next year and hopefully I can finish those years out,” Holt said at Rams minicamp. “Then I will see where I am at. I will see where I am at physically and emotionally and financially. Then, if they would like to do something here I will consider it. If not, then I will have the option to go and explore and give my services somewhere else. If that happens, Carolina will definitely be my first choice. There is no question about it. I have 2008 and 2009 left to play and that is what I plan on doing.”

   As for Terrence, he should make the team this year but his contract is hardly guaranteed beyond that. So he may not even be here when Holt becomes a free agent after the 2009 season.
