Lucas is gone
The panthers tried to offload him and his outrageous fucking price tag to another team, and got some offers, but it didn't work. This was only after a trade to Detroit was pretty much all but final and Lucas put the kabosh on it. So the panthers just basically told Lucas to take his selective persnickety ass and go play hide and go fuck himself.
Brief history lesson: Lucas was signed in the 2005 offseason to play in the secondary because all we really had there was Gamble and when they changed the contact rules Ricky Manning had to learn how to play cornerback all over again (he eventually never did) so Lucas was brought in.
In 2005 he played like a madman. 6 ints, he tackled like a linebacker, and only the dumbest QBs (like Brooks Bollinger) dared to throw his way. In 2006 he struggled with injuries, and the next year, he kinda fell off the map completely. Most NFL fans in general know Lucas only as "THaT gUy thAT STeVE SMitH punCHeD DurRRr" by now, that's how obsolete he's become. The Panthers made it clear they are not spending anymore money on somebody who's on the decline.
