Kiper is an idiot. The thought of the Lions trading up to #1 is ludicrous, let alone to pick anyone other than Joeckel. He doesn't even have the Lions trading a #2 or #3 this year.
Looking at...
I'm really hoping rumors are true about the Eagles' interest in Geno Smith. Frees up Eric Fisher to drop to us at #5. Okafor/Hunt/Montgomery/Carradine at #36, then Da'Rick Rogers in the 3rd round....
If I were the F.O. I'd gun for around 5 years, $95 mil. Brings his total deal to 7 years, $135 mil. It's slightly more than Romo, and you can set his cap hits at $12 mil this season, $16 mil, $18...
I'll head in a different direction, but use your hypothetical draft pick trade:
1. (12) Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma - Starts Day 1 at either LT or RT, Reiff obviously at the opposite.
2. (36) Margus...
I didn't know the Spartan 'S' was keeping them from being a good team...and the Fab 5 also got voided by a booster scandal. State's gone to 6 Final Fours in 12 years and has the more recent NCAA...
If DHB signs with us, I would pass on any WR in the first 4 rounds. Austin should go 16 or better most likely. I don't want Moore or Jones, and Okafor I feel could be solid, but out of those 5, I'd...
Derrius Hayward-Bey visits tomorrow, and if I remember right Brandon Moore is visiting thursday. Sign both.
spoken like a true walmart wolverine...
Couldn't say it better. For all 32 teams you can go game by game and say "well, if so-and-so make these couple plays we would've won that game", but in the end, the best teams actually convert those...
I'd take Jenkins or Greene, both are great playmakers at OLB, and Werner is being mocked anywhere from #18 to mid-2nd round now, so I could see him dropping. As I said it's a best-case scenario...
maybe if we traded back to anywhere from 8-16 yeah, but I prefer just signing Brandon Moore. We still have plenty of holes and spots that need upgrading. I want to see another DE, LT/RT, OC, OLB, and...
Worst case scenario KC- Joeckel, JAX-Ziggy, OAK-Millner, PHI-Fisher. At that point it's either trade back if Buffalo, Arizona, or a team-to-be-named wants to jump at Geno Smith and prevent the other...
already signed P Blake Clingan, so Lechler isn't needed.
Stafford's estimated extension is ranging around 5 years, $95 mil. Mlive.com projected it, with cap hits of approximately (adding on to the...
Calvin re-structured today, freeing up $3.5 mil in cap space this season. Mayhew is still talking to Stafford and Tom Condon about a contract extension to free up approximately $8 mil more this...
Am I the only one here who thinks our O-Line is in worse shape than our D-line right now?? I can live with Willie Young and Jason Jones as starting DEs, but I can't live with a line of...
Yeah knowing how Mayhew likes to lower cap numbers in the 1st year I'd say probably 3 mil is guaranteed, he's probably at a $1 mil base salary with a signing bonus of $5 mil, pro-rated making his cap...
Nick Barnett maybe? I hear he'll be super cheap. Possibly 2 years, $4 mil tops
yeah that's why I also had Rambo in there, I doubt Thomas falls that far. I really just hope someone comes up empty in their search for a top flight CB and decides to trade up to #5 to get Milliner,...
whoops double posted by accident
And for those wondering what our cap situation looks like, here's the numbers:
Lions - $6 mil BEFORE re-structuring Suh, $13 mil AFTER.
Bush ($2 mil), Houston ($2.3 mil), Jones ($1.8 mil), and...
Eagles always overpay for FAs. Michael Bennett is reportedly coming to Detroit after leaving MIA tomorrow. With Backus retiring today we gain $2.75 mil in cap space. I feel like Detroit has been more...
Well with the reported structure of the extension for Stafford, and rotoworld's recent rumors, it's becoming more and more possible that the Lions re-sign Delmas and sign Cary Williams. In that case...
the commonality with players coming to Detroit is that the players here seem to tweet, message, text, and vocally influence other players more than other teams do, players like Stafford come to the...
Rotoworld's reporting that the Lions are still heavily in the mix and considered potential favorites for both Louis Delmas and Cary Williams. With Bush signing for $4 mil a season, Quin at $5 mil,...
