Motown Bombers

Haven't we learned with Stafford that you can't just plug a franchise QB on a bad team and expect to win? Houston was 4-12 in Watson's last season with possibly more talent than the current Lions roster. It made little sense.

If they can get a 1st for Baker, the Lions damn well better trade Goff for a 1st + because Goff is a better QB.

While you're heaping praise on the Browns, don't forget they traded the pick that was used to draft Watson.

The Browns traded away 3 1st round picks and locked in a guy to a $230 million fully guaranteed contract who missed an entire seasons and has someone questionable off the field behavior.

He will also sign fully guaranteed 5 year $230 million deal.

I read that they heard a pop in the ankle area. Could be an Achilles. If it is an Achilles, he could even fall out of the draft. *Edit* The Achilles is just speculation on my part.

I could see the Lions being interested.

Every team in the AFC West is one upping each other. Did Rodgers approve of this?

I'm guessing the massage parlor scene in Cleveland is not the same as New Orleans or Atlanta.

But they're trying...

If Atlanta trades for Watson, they would then assume Watson's $40 million cap hit right? Matt Ryan has a $40 million dead cap if traded before June 1st. That's $80 million in QBs.

Matt Ryan has a massive dead cap hit. I wonder how Atlanta plans to do this?

This trade didn't look nearly as bad as it did before.

It seems like they are sticking to a plan and that plan is to build through the draft. I think Jamaal Williams is the only external free agent they signed to more than one year. What stood out to me in the article is that about 50% of the roster doesn't have guaranteed contracts. I think we are still in phase one of build through the draft and culture change.

Looking at Charles Harris contract on OTC, looks like only $7 million is guaranteed and it's basically a 1 year deal. They can cut him post June 1st in the 2nd year and save $6 million in cap space. The total value is $13 million but not sure if that includes incentives. These numbers are pretty good. They are only really committed to him for one year to see if last year wasn't a fluke. If it wasn't, they get a 2nd year. I was apprehensive about signing Harris but this looks like a solid deal.

Speaking of Banksy, he did a mural on a building only a couple blocks from me. The owner of the building covered it up. Not sure if the owner knew what he had. I still don't get Banksy. If no one knows who he is, who is selling his art and profiting?
