  1. When I was 21 I was never involved in reckless behavior that resulting in people being killed. A couple hundred young players are going to get drafted who haven't engaged in that behavior either. He also seems determined to be exonerated and not self reflective.
  2. Isn't that Paschal? Strong on the edge against the run? Houston is likely to be a pass rushing specialist. I would probably prefer to keep Okwara based on talent. Okwara's contract is off the books after this year so really keeping Okwara doesn't do much for signing free agents. They just take a lower cap hit this year.
  3. Yeah I'm not sure why he doesn't just pay the token fine and make it go away.
  4. And signed John Cominsky who was productive and cheaper.
  5. The Lions drafted Decker to replace Reiff. Wagner was signed for less money so I'm not sure the problem. The Lions have plenty of defensive ends. In fact, they have too many. Hutchinson replaced Okwara as the top pass rusher on the team.
  6. Here's another thing, the Lions don't have players with big long term deals on the books which means their cap is wide open in the future and can easily sign their current star players like Sewell and St Brown while adding others. As it stands, the Lions are projected to have $122 million in cap space next year and $236 million in 2025.
  7. They've already cut Brockers which added $10 million. Cutting those three players you mentioned adds about $18 million. They could add about another $12 million if they restructure Goff.
  8. About $40 million and that doesn't include any restructure of Goff.
  9. Don't worry, you're forever the Connor Cook guy.
  10. Property taxes pay for schools. Areas with more kids would have less funding for schools. Then again, Republicans don't care about public schools so that is feature.
  11. The Lions are building a sustainable contender. I'm not sure they care about windows. If they build a good team, it doesn't matter how good the rest of the NFC is.
  12. KL2 is a well documented liar but he is right here. You originally said this: Your whole premise was that they wouldn't be big players in free agency because of the cap. People have pointed out that the cap is not the reason they wouldn't be players in free agency. The Lions have the cap space to sign a big free agent or two, it's whether they want to. Your post was talking about them being limited by the cap.
  13. I mean, the Packers dominated the division for over a decade and did win a Super Bowl. It's not exactly a bad thing. The Lions have a lot of draft capital this year so that may be why they are shying away from free agents. Another thing, the Lions were the 2nd youngest team in the NFL last year. Their oldest player is 29. That young core is returning and it's reasonable to assume their young players are going to get better. They are basically adding three first round picks with Williams being available from the beginning of the season now. I would maybe like to see one significant free agent meaning more than a two year deal. Maybe someone like Tremaine Edmunds or Dean.
  14. I feel like there was a plan in place and this year wasn't they year they spend big in free agency. I'm not sure the fact they exceeded expectations will change their plan. I would like to see them be a little more aggressive in free agency but I would pass on Ramsey. He's in decline, is going to cost picks, and wants a new contract making him one of the highest paid corners.
  15. What's the word on Aaron Rodgers? He see his shadow or what? I thought he wasn't going to hold the Packers hostage. Guess we'll have to watch the McAffee show on Tuesday.
  16. Because it was manufactured to ruin Trump since they know and everyone else knows Trump was incapable and too incompetent to handle a pandemic.
  17. Holmes has shown he's not afraid to draft players who had injuries like Williams and Mitchell.
  18. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans lost it over AOC dancing on a roof top. Here we have a Republican in drag frolicking through a park where children play.
