I don't think injury concerns dissuade Holmes. If the players medicals clear the team and they like the guy they will acquire him. I also think this move gives them more flexibility in the draft to just go and take the BPA on their board and not feel like they have to worry about need in any capacity.

I don't hate the player by any means, just as I don't hate Cam Sutton either. I just don't know if we acquire our CB1 that will be our primary corner going up against other teams WR1. In Tampa I believe Jamel Dean was their CB1 and received a lot of the top matchups.

Because we need a corner capable of covering a team's WR1 and Sutton got burnt in several games last year covering other teams WR1.

This also means we're out on trading for Sneed or signing Fuller probably right?

Is Davis a big upgrade over Sutton? On paper he doesn't seem to be. Bot not having watched a ton of Bucs games, I don't if he passes the eyeball test of being markedly better than Sutton and taking on the CB1 responsibilities of covering the opposing teams WR1.

Looking at the numbers for him and Sutton, they seem like similar players. A PFF grade of 58 with 52 tackles and 2 INTs on 79 targets for Davis. A 56 PFF grade, with 65 tackles and 1 INT on 89 targets for Sutton.

I saw the Vikings uniform as the x was loading and almost jumped out of my chair thinking it was us signing Hunter.

I expected Romeo to be back on a 1 year deal.

They may like what they have at the edge with Hutch, Houston, Paschal, and Okwara. Who knows.

Yeah, I guess their stats aren't so dissimilar. Sneed only had 2INTs to go along with 78 tackles. Newsome could have gotten another 10-12 tackles had injury not kept him out 4 games. So in the end, they would have been statistically close to one another. Newsome had and almost 15 point higher PFF grade than Sutton too. So upon further review, I take back what I said earlier about Newsome and I guess I'd be alright with the Lions acquiring him.

Another potential Lion off the market in Denico Autry.

Is Newsome a guy who is significantly better than Cam Sutton and a CB1 type of player? He's not on PFFs top 32 list either. So they have 32 other starters ranked ahead of him. Maybe I am getting too hung up on this idea of who is and isn't CB1 material and having two good players back there at CB versus a true, #1 lockdown guy is suffice.

Grant Newsome had a 69.7 PFF grade, 49 tackles, 2INTs in 13 games started last year. While I think Newsome is a nice player, he seems like yet another CB2 type of guy. We have two CB2s on our roster already, we don't need to add another one IMO.

I think given the Guard market we are going to be drafting one in the first or second round.

Several Lions potential targets off the board now with Huff, Van Ginkel and Wilkens gone. I hope we're in the market for Hunter and Fuller.

WOW, I didn't even recall this story being a thing. Apparently Armstead accused Skipper of dropping the N-bomb in games. Just looking this up, I don't see any player corroborating what Armstead said about Skipper. It also looks like Armstead has resorted to calling people a f*g himself on Twitter.

I wonder if we would be in on Arik Armstead? He is still a productive player at 30 years old. I could see a 1-2 year deal for Armstead.

That line at the beginning where he talks about cutting entitlements should be in ad after ad. The Republicans want to cut your Social Security and Medicare seems a very effective argument for Democrats.

Th moral majority of America here folks.

I'd rather have to face Russ twice a year than Kirk Cousins as the Vikings starter. Russ looks baked and done.

I would guess the third year is either a team option or a voidable year on the contract.

We can't be Arizona so my confidence in putting away Buffalo is fading. After all the numbers and stats I parsed through the other week, it really amazes me how big of a collapse this team has had without Larkin. They look like a bottom 5 team without him and here I thought they had all this scoring depth on the team.

I guess Chris Jones won't be a Lion.
