The Panthers and Ken Lucas agree on deal with 15 million dollar bonus. Yikes.
Reported By Jay Glazer.

 

[Clark Kent]

What are with these average players getting big money? Didn't they also draft Chris Gamble who played well?

 

[Fresh]

Ken Lucas is a hell of a cornerback..he had a great year last year.

If that's true....that is ridiculous!:shakeno:

15 million signing bonus??? Jesus. thats pretty high for a CB. Dudes good but he couldn't even carry Surtain's jock.

 

[finsnchips]

that is crazy... they got manning and gamble... Lucas probably benefited from trufant..

 

[finsnchips]

so carolina got him and wahle...

anyway... its another CB off the market going to a team that we arent talking about trading surtain to... i spose that is good news.

 

[DrAstroZoom]

This could make Pat's asking price sound not-as-ludicrous and could help a trade along.

 

[FireWrongstedt]

This is ridiculous- Jennings got a $12 mil bonus, FERGUSON- JASON FERGUSON- got a $9 mil bonus, and Lucas- who is a GOOD corner- not GREAT- GOOD- gets a $15 mil bonus? This is a joke. OBSURD money being thrown around.

 

[Surferosa]

:eek:

 

[arsenal]

cornerback is one of the highest paid position in the league what did you expect? the problem i see with this **** now though is it'll make surtains agent try to get more money now that the market rose...
