What is Jacksonville doing?

I'm glad the Lions are showing restraint so far on Harris. He was a bust coming into this season who then had a nice season. I would still be apprehensive about committing a lot to him right now. I would go all in on Marcus Williams. Tracy Walker signed effectively a two year deal. Williams is young and should be the future beyond two years. I wouldn't let Tracy Walker's contract deter me from signing Williams. You can backload Williams contract if you have to.

A healthy Chark is probably better than all those receivers.

Hard not to like the deal. He's still only 25 and has size and speed. If the injuries continue to be a problem, you aren't committed long term.

Why would it take them out of the Williams sweepstakes?

Christian Kirk signed a huge deal. Hopefully Robinson doesn't want that kind of money.

Kind of interesting that of all the defensive players the have re-signed, the one they haven't re-signed is Charles Harris. Hopefully that's because they aren't going to break the bank on a guy that had a decent season. The rest of the guys they signed were just filler except for Walker.

Yeah that Benson deal is looking like a clunker. Hopefully Holmes doesn't do that again.

You have to see what the details are on Walker's contract. It's 17 million guaranteed so I'm guessing it's basically a 2 year deal. With regards to the other signings, you need filler and special teamers. I'm encouraged that basically everyone wanted to return to the Lions.

The only one I was interested in bringing back was Walker. Seems like a fair contract for Walker. The rest are meh.

Quandre Diggs signed for 3/40. Not sure if that is incentive laden, but if Diggs gets that much coming off a serious leg injury, Marcus Williams isn't going to be cheap.

Damn, I didn't catch that. It seemed pretty quick for a deal.

Don't have to worry about Robinson.

I guess I don't understand this logic. I don't see the harm in building a good offense around Goff. I still contend Goff is Alex Smith like and you can still win with him. You can then move on from him at any time and insert a young QB into an already good offense. Plus, building up Goff would only make him more valuable in a trade much the same way Kansas City was able to trade Smith for a draft pick. Another option is once the Lions have the offensive pieces, they could do what the Rams or Broncos did and go for broke on a veteran QB. Robinson is intriguing as he may be willing to give a hometown discount and play on more of a prove it type deal.

I really don't care for bringing back Anzalone and Boyle, but it's encouraging that all the Lions top restricted free agents re-signed and their unrestricted free agents re-signed so far. It seems to indicate the Lions are a team players want to play on and none of the contracts seemed like enormous contracts they couldn't have gotten elsewhere.

The CEO of my company, when talking about Ukraine, said he wished our government would step up and lead a little more. This is the same company who donates almost exclusively to Republicans and the very same Republicans who let Trump off the hook for trying to deny military aid to Ukraine.
