Ken Lucas anyone?

Cap move: Panthers cut CB Lucas, save $2.3M
starter in this league. big upgrade over Smoot. wouldn't mind seeing him here. and could probably get fairly cheap. off topic, wonder if he is any realtion to Frank Lucas?

MTK · 03-12-2009, 09:26 AM

He would be worth a look.

KLHJ2 · 03-12-2009, 09:28 AM

Nah, I think that we are set at CB. He is not much of an upgrade over Smoot. Isn't he a cover 2 corner? Even if the price is right, I am not interested n the guy. Besides, he would probably rather start somewhere else.

Edit: After further review he is not a Cover 2 corner, but I still believe that he would want to start somewhere else.

Lucas CUT!?!

Damn, now who is Steve Smith going to beat up at camp?

jdlea · 03-12-2009, 10:07 AM

I'd definitely bring the guy in. I think he could be a solid contributor to this team. I think he's a huge upgrade over Fred Smoot and it could move Smoot down to a dime corner, which seems like it may be more where he belongs now.

NO. Overrated, He was torched by AZ in the playoffs

Really? Would you not sign any of the Pitt corners either? I mean, Warner threw for like 370 on them. Their whole defense must be useless...

SBXVII · 03-12-2009, 10:18 AM

He's 30 yrs old. He's too old. We need to get younger. He only had 2 INT. last yr. He would probably want too much money for what little he does. Please DS if you have a heart don't sign him. Look the other way. I'm sure he has a criminal record somewhere.

LOL. Just thought I would throw all the BS stuff out there now so no one else could. Now we can have a serious discussion about him. LOL.

I know Warner torched just about everyone last year. i was ust giving the latest example....not breaking down his whole career. I just think we shouldn't spend any on DB's in FA right now.

GTripp0012 · 03-12-2009, 10:24 AM

I'd be interested in Lucas, but Daven Holly is the best thing on the CB market given the relative health of his knee.

SmootSmack · 03-12-2009, 10:29 AM

I was wondering this too yesterday, as Tripp recalls I'm a big Daven Holly fan so I'd concur that I'd look at him first, but whether it's Holly or Lucas or someone else I'd imagine we'll bring some veteran DB in at some point this spring/summer.

My inclination though is to say no to Lucas

BigHairedAristocrat · 03-12-2009, 10:51 AM

Id considering bringing in Lucas to play free safety, but not corner. Even then, it would have to be cheap.

Nflnick11 · 03-12-2009, 03:39 PM

yes id bring him in, if he fits our system,
2, who is daven holly??
