LB Stephen Cooper to be released(Chargers)

[jtnc]

Stephen Cooper has been informed he will be released. I'm assuming the move is to make room for a running back.

I'm sure we're gonna take a look, Rivera never passes up on Charger players.

another ex bolt? I'd take Coop

[lightsout]

I hope not. Dude isn't good.

[rayzor]

come on over.

one thing this also might do is make curry's asking price go down.

[4Corners]

$5 says we sign him

[Jrock88]

I hope not. Dude isn't good.

neither is our special teams unit, or LB core

[YoungPanthers89]

I hope not. Dude isn't good.

better than what we have

Beggars can't be choosers.

Had decent numbers as a starter in 2007-09.

Missed a number of games last year with a dropoff in numbers. Injuries?

With Omar Gaither's knee responding well; Panthers not planning to add a LB. blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/

That was before Cooper was released, Rivera shows huge homerism towards ex-bolt players.

didn't pay it any attention.

it came from joseph person. njpanther has been more right than him.

also...possibly a smokescreen.

wouldn't put anything past this FO. they could act or they could sit and do nothing. fact is they have been going after charger players and the LBs have been weak this year. rivera is familiar with cooper. really isn't out of the realm of possibility regardless of person's report.
