Panthers still looking to deal Lucas

The Panthers and Lions had a deal worked out that would have sent CB Ken Lucas to Detroit, but it fell through after the Lions learned that Lucas was unwilling to restructure his contract, which includes a sizable 2009 cap hit of $9.1 million. Although that trade didn’t come to fruition, sources in Carolina say the Panthers are still looking to deal Lucas, who has started 12 games or more in each of the past five seasons. After watching the Eagles send CB Lito Sheppard to the Jets for draft picks, we hear the Panthers believe they will be able to get something of value in return for Lucas. It could be some time before a deal gets done, however, as potentially interested teams likely will wait until the market for free-agent corners thins before agreeing to give up a draft pick for the 30-year-old Lucas. If Lucas maintains that he will not restructure his deal, there may not be a team willing to absorb his large contract, and, in the end, Carolina could be forced to cut him.

At first I thought this post was actually going to point out threads I missed, but I clicked on them all and none of them remotely touches what I just posted.

Yeah everyone knows about the Lucas to Detroit trade, but it wasn't rumored or confirmed that he was still being shopped. Or that Lucas didn't decline the trade because he didn't want to be a Lion, but instead didn't want to reconstruct his contract.

Either way I'm interested in hearing what teams might want to trade for Lucas and for how much.

Lucas apparently doesn't have any upcoming roster bonus so it costs us nothing except cap space to keep him. IMO if we can't trade him, we will keep him until all other NFC S teams have signed their FA CB needs or if there is a FA which we can't hold off any longer on signing.

IS that your opinion or did you borrow it from somewhere? Because wht I remember Lucas nixed the deal because he didnt want to play in Detroit.

Nah it's from profootballweekly.

I didn't find a thread like this cause when I previewed that other one it just said n/a.

So I guess when can have some speculation over why the trade to Detriot didn't go through, and what reimbursement the team can possibly get for Lucas.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
