they were rebuilding when stafford made that request. new regime. this is a team that is allegedly ready to compete for championships. they might trade goff if hooker is a revelation. or sign him to a deal that allows them to get rid of him cheaply in another extra year in exchange for more guaranteed cash if hooker is just an ordinary 3rd rounder. but they certainly dont have to acquiesce to a trade request. this scenario is (hopefully) nothing like the situation when stafford asked to be dealt.

they dont have to grant it. and then he'd have to hold out and lose $$$. the lions hold all the cards with goff. he can play out his contract and they can franchise him if they want to.

how long until troy offers him $20 mil per?

what choice will he have?

hooker was drafted because they think he can be a good qb. that's it. that's why.

edvinnson out 4-6 months after shoulder surgery

if i had to rank the nfc north right now, i would say: 1) lions 2) packers 3) bears 4) vikings the vikes has the best player in the division, but little else imo.

dont forget seattle. the lions havent made the seahawks punt in two years, much less beat them.

they still havent done a ton to fix their main issues on the defensive line and their oline is still subpar. remember that sewell was ok as a rookie, but made a ton of mistakes. bears will be starting a rookie at one tackle and a 5th round pick at the other (last seen being bullrushed into justin fields' legs by james houston). they signed a guard but still have oft injured failed tackle prospect tevin jenkins at the other and failed free agent lucas patrick at center. their oline is still subpar. at dline they have....no one but some mid round draft picks. they signed some off ball linebackers to massive contracts which should be an upgrade over the udfa's they were running out there last year. the secondary has some names of players who were decent (johnson), were once good until they got paid (eddie jackson), and two rookies last seen failing to even try to tackle d'andre swift (brisker and gordon). the rise of the bears is greatly exaggerated, imo. the houston texas took kc and dallas to overtime in the last few weeks of the season. everyone plays close games in the nfl. the fact that the bears did too doesnt mean much to me. their season comes down to fields. is he lamar jackson 2019 or just a more athletic mitch trubisky?

bears should win 6-7 games.

hatred of james harden or hatred of boston? its a tough choice but i have to root for philly.

i dont think the lions are done. june 1st cuts havent happend yet either.

lions will be the favorites, but i think the packers will be better than people think.

hello kool aid my old friend, i've come to smoke with you again...

no al avila prospects are "pivotal." new regime = new philosophy. i'll wait to get excited about this year's draft class. if anything pans out from any avila class, it will be icing on the cake!

"i'll just this gambling app on the internet, its totally anonymous!"

he's the best AAAA prospect we got!

carolina missing two of their best players.

i'm stuck between laughing at boston and realizing the leafs are now the cup favorite.

its not going to be easy to move kyler. look for mr harrison jr in phoenix.

talks all that **** about lebron when theyre winning, then refuses to talk to the media after he loses. says all you need to know about dillon brooks and memphis.

did bert sign with boston?

that's probably true. and if so, they need to find someone better than sudfeld.

they value loyalty above everything else. but even john paxson got fired eventually. if they bottom out, hahn is likely to get the boot. kenny was booted upstairs back when they traded sale, eaton, etc. kenny didnt want to do that and wanted to keep trying to win every season. it would not surprise me if hahn gets fired and kenny moves back into the gm role. jerry brought larussa's old ass back from the grave, i wouldnt put it beyond him to put kenny back as gm and make larussa team president. or just make "hall of famer" harold baines the manager. lol.

the niners have the best offensive coach in the league. they'll be fine no matter who their qb is (unless they are down to zero qbs like they were in the nfc championship game). sudfeld will be cut if they sign bridgewater. he may get cut anyway if hooker shows he is capable of playing.
