Charlotte, NC (My Sportsbook) - The Carolina Panthers released veteran cornerback Ken Lucas on Wednesday. Lucas, a staple in the Panthers' defensive backfield for the past four seasons, is an eight-year pro out of Mississippi. "Ken Lucas has been a very valuable player for us over the last four years and played an important role on two playoff teams during that span. Ken is a true pro and we wish him the very best," said general manager Marty Hurney. "This year, we have re-signed some veteran players and this move means some younger players will have an opportunity to step up." The 30-year-old Lucas, who started 49 of the 50 games he played with Carolina after spending four years in Seattle, has 24 career interceptions and 495 total tackles. |
