Curtis Lofton Released

Now let's get somebody who can cover a little...

Liked Lofton a lot but a step too slow in the flat. I would have thought Hawthorne would have been released first.

NEXT.

Misses too many tackles and below average in coverage for that much money.

He might re-sign with us later...

And the beat goes on.....

Tough one because he was a great leader. It was inevitable though once word got out that he was on the trade block. He gave it his all and stayed classy throughout our defensive trials and tribulations. I'll always root for him.

Kind of on the fence with this one. I think he played his heart out for the black & gold, which is more than I can say for some other players still on the roster. But he wasn't worth his price-tag, so moving forward this was a good move. I think more than anything, Lofton was let down by the FO and the coaches by not giving him a supporting cast with whom to succeed with.

I wish we would sign a LB,OL,or CB already....I'm getting antsy!

I'm not going to get upset . Not the guy I saw us cutting. We'll have to see how it shakes out. LB is now the weakest position group on the team even more so. Who going to fill that hole ???????
