trade him for #18. they cant take clancy.

deforest buckner was almost an identical situation, traded by the niners to the colts for the #13 pick in the draft. simmons would have similar value, one would think.

or they could stay put and potentially get Carter, who profiles as the next jeffrey simmons only a lot cheaper right now and with a lot more potentially productive future left. i wouldnt trade two first round picks for jeffrey simmons. maybe 18. that said, if there is a qb left at #6, all offers are on the table.

i dont know. they might. perhaps they like hurts better? perhaps they think mobile qbs are more valuable in today's nfl?

they reminisce about their run to the super bowl with him? i dont know what they'll do, but i suspect they extend hurts. if they still have questions, they can franchise him.

its not that, its that you wont have enough money (or AS MUCH) money to pay the other good players on your team. but good qbs cost money and if goff continues to get better, maybe they do pay him? or they see that an effective game manager can run their offense and they let goff leave and find another effective game manager? dont know. but they have options.

its nice to have confidence in a regime's drafting ability after years of quinn.

jared goff is going to get very expensive in two years. like potentially $45-50 million if he keeps up his game from the second half of the season. and sewell will likely be the highest paid olineman and st brown will make a good amount as a slot guy. im sure holmes is thinking about the cap ramifications down the road. for once, its a nice problem to have rather than our usual "we'll have so much cap space after we let these bums walk!"

the pistons are still capable of matching the 79-80 team for worst pistons team of all time with 16 wins. im sure we all remember who the pistons drafted #1 the next year, right? oh wait! they didnt have a draft pick that year because they traded it for bob mcadoo! dick vitale was simultaneously the worst and best thing to ever happen to the pistons, because the team he created was so bad he got them the #2 pick the next year and that became isiah thomas.

mantle was one of the ten best players of all time, and he wasnt higher probably due more to his knee injury than hia drinking. but the drinking didnt help, im sure.

i thought edvinsson looked good. getting stuck with bottom pairing forwards probably cost him a couple points.

i think just as many of those guys spend a lot of time at clubs and bars and partying as those who refrain.

need jadyn davis to commit. and stick.

ftfy 🙂

how dare they give you an F for jake moody.

hell no. that's a massive overpay.

i'll take that bet (not really...theoretically).

two players!

best player in the draft.

terrible play by raymond and its 1-0.

jalen carter's talent is what this team needs. but....

my first real lions memory is monte clark on the sidelines watching eddie murray wide right.

i'm only 50. so for me its been 50 years of hurt.

i'll believe the lions are better than dallas when i see them actually beat dallas. its hard not to be optimistic about the lions, but i temper my lions optimism with 50 years of hurt. "one lion on the shirt...50 years of hurt..." english people will catch that reference.
