Hampton to be Cut? Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Rumors fly that Casey Hampton could be cut before the season.

The article's author, Ed Bouchette, laughs at the idea. Hampton is in his last year and is relatively affordable at $3M. The guy is not as good as he used to be but losing him would really thin us out, depth-wise.

Not only that, but as Hampton is close friends with many of his teammates, his teammates would probably be quite shaken by the cut.

The only way I can imagine this happening is if Hampton has been really, really bad in practices and it's obvious to everyone: front office, coaches, and all the players. But I haven't heard anything like that.

Even so, this will be Hampton's last year. Hopefully he can get Super Bowl ring #3 while wearing black and gold.
