Epenesa at $5M to Cleve. thought he was a better player than Wunnom.

Julks sent to minor league camp despite great numbers

Hole at TE? I mean they have one of the top TEs plus multiple backups. How many TEs do you want? They have two starting DTs. McCreary is the starting nickel. He graded out better than Robertson. Arnold and Reed are your starters. Rock is your depth at both CB and Safety along with Izien. People need to relax. 

i want 3.

you are not finding a bigger LaPorta fan than me, but the guy had a broken back, a season ending injury. let's not pretend he is coming back "110%" until we have some proof. the rest of the unit is blah at best (and with a long injury history).

so is wave 2 of free agency over? are we allowed to now say Brad has only found one starter (C)?

i actually like most of the depth moves: Izien, McCreary, Wonnum, Borom, Pacheco should all be able to contribute

but still so many holes: OT, TE, DE, DT, LB, CB, S, and it would be nice to get a developmental RB, WR and QB

It's so much ignorance. Ignorance about how the world really works vs what their self chosen media prates at them and their Maga leaders promise them.

Aggressively ignorant.

Orange pedo turd not only f**** children, he also f**** MAGA - and they don't care

the pedophile/rapist/felon, who is CIC of the most powerful military the planet has ever seen, begged China and others to clean up his mess.

and because we are respected like never before, they all ignored him.

pure humiliation. both in begging for help like a dog, and then getting none.

this is why I think he is going drop 3 nukes on Iran.

Have they sent McGonigle to the minor league camp yet?   (not being sarcastic, don't know if I missed it)

considering how acceptable he has looked at SS, more likely he makes OD roster and they set themselves up for a possible PPI pick if he wins ROY

have yet to see the social media post of any player saying

"I'm trying to comeback from this injury for next year, but it appears I will never be the player I once was."

But they maneuvered up the draft board for these developmental players like they were moving up for Gibbs or Jameson Williams. You put players like that on a bit of a pedestal. Now everyone is dancing around Manu like, uh are we allowed to acknowledge that he is not progressing? I don't know what that looks like in the locker room, but is he getting attention that another player should get?

exactly. Brad and Dan said they could not sleep, knowing that Manu and Vaki were still available for the next day's picks. really??? If they both really thought that, then that speaks to a huge mis-evaluation for both guys. if they stood still and grabbed Manu, the expectations/narratives might be different.

and again, Brad is the best Lions GM in my lifetime by a mile.

the 2024 draft fiasco looms even larger now:

Arnold - he will soon will find out what happens when you are a non-impact player who has off-field issues

Rakestraw - injured player has been injured

Manu - not good enough to fill Skipper's shoes, let alone Decker's

Vaki - instead of filling DMo role, he's a ST player, which you can find in 7R or undrafted guy

Wingo - too small

Mahogany - if he stays healthy, could start for next few years at LG

i am no cap expert, but if you are paying the top of the market for Linderbaum and Sewell, isn't that manageable if you have rookies deals at the other 3 positions?

I know PFF is not perfect, but they had Decker actually graded out as an average LT. So if Brad and Dan try to "next man up" this situation, we are looking at a 7-10 record. Need a real FA signing AND a high draft pick to address the OL.

the hardest part of a limited 2 week military campaign is the first 6 years.

Socialism is back to rescue capitalism, just in the nick of time!

Never forget: Trump is a rapist

Word of The Day: Kakistocracy - government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people

The US is not a serious country. In a serious country a pedophile, rapist conman would not be considered a legitimate candidate for anything other than life in prison.

But creating hype videos, likes, and sick burns is exactly how a huge percentage of American judge success.

If anyone thinks we can pull ourselves out of this death spiral, you are just deluding yourself.

i heard some talking heads say this is Dan's fault, pushing them too hard during the week.

would be interesting to hear what players think, especially guys who have moved on and guys who have gotten injured

Rapist Trump treats Spanish airbases like he treats women; he can have them if he wants them, and they are not allowed to object.

Orange pedo turd brags he can do forever war. MAGAs scammed again, Chapter 95,846.

don't want to knock Holmes when he just got great value, but he needs a good 2026 draft after the disaster of 2024 and the meh 2025 draft

they are in a weird spot of being really, really talented but with lots of holes, some of which are going to have to be filled by rookies in 2026
