Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports the Carolina Panthers can clear $4.4 million from their salary cap if they cut DE Mike Rucker.

So which is it? The headline is: "Team clears $4.4 million by cutting Rucker" and the story says: "...if they cut DE Mike Rucker."

31 year old DE who hasn't posted double digits sacks in 4 years. We already have a couple of those. He'll probably get a decent contract from somebody.

I would rather add James Hall to our roster. Depending of the price of course.

LIONS TO LET HALL, BELL SHOP AROUND, TOO

A member of PFT Planet has alerted us to media reports that the Lions, who have invited cornerback Dre' Bly to find a trade partner, have likewise asked defensive end James Hall and defensive tackle Marcus Bell to do the same.

Bell is signed through 2007, and he is scheduled to earn a base salary of $950,000.

Hall is signed through 2008, at salaries of $2.75 million in 2007 and $3 million in 2008.

Permission to seek a trade is often a precursor to a guy getting cut.

Grrr. Another blow to my keeper fantasy football team!

This really is a surprise because Rucker is still a decent player despite declining numbers.

Isn't he also coming off an ACL? He was one of the best unknown DEs 3-5 years ago, but his career is starting to slip.
