With Mo Claiborne going down for the Cowboys, I'd love them to pick him up
Now I don't feel as bad wanting them to lose.
I hope he gets another shot, but no surprise when an NFL career is short.
Played well first two years. Struggled since. This is not a surprise. Hope he catches on somewhere.
Heck the Saints desperately need corner help
NFL is odd in that players get cut like this to save salary cap money, and the player can be picket up by another team at lower cost.
He will get picked up by someone. Ravens are a real possibility. He didn't fit well with the current defensive coordinator. Also, Bucs weren't real happy with him not being around during the off-season. He fell out of favor. This might end up being good for the Bucs and good for Banks.
He's not fast, but has good ball skills and length. There are certainly worse defensive backs in the league.
Hope he get's picked up by somebody (I'm a saints fan too). Wish him all the luck, great Bulldog!
Apparently he is good enough to trade for..
Looks like Banks will be a Lion..
But then you also have guys that were much higher rated and drafted higher than Banks (like Dee Milliner from Bama) who wash out of the league even faster than Banks did. Average NFL career is only about 4 years, and Banks is currently at 3.5 so he is right in the meaty part of the curve. Like somebodyshotmypaw said, not surprising.
