The Panthers have released 30-year old cornerback Ken Lucas.  Lucas played in all 16 games for the Panthers last season and he made 60 tackles, defensed 10 passes and had 2 interceptions.  The Panthers only released Lucas after he nixed them in a trade with the Lions……and who would blame him for that?  Lucas played in 4 seasons with the Panthers covering 60 games in which he made 235 tackles, defensed 44 passes and had 13 interceptions.  This could wind up being a big mistake for the Panthers.
