So, you admit, there's no pattern.
-
What pattern, that doesn't apply to Harris, Vatai or Okwara at all, and they did renegotiate Goff.
-
If the Lions had simply cut those players, like most teams do, you wouldn't have given two thoughts about it. But because they worked out a mutually beneficial arrangement, you somehow find it offensive.
-
It's not hardball, it's simply a negotiation. If Cominsky, Vatai and Okwara didn't have any problem with it, why should you? If they had a problem with it, they surely would have declined and entered the free market as many others have.
-
And I'm just saying that you are way off base.
-
And no one but you has any problem at all with that.
-
They have spent. It doesn't have to be on something big. It's not prudent to spend all your cap and hamstring yourself.
-
Where in heaven's name do you get the idea that the Lions are abusing the cap and not spending? That is absurd.
-
Probably four in the last week.
-
Awesome, when healthy, which is iffy.
-
He got a $48 million guarantee. That's the number to focus on. If he'd gotten a 5 year 150 million deal with 48 million guaranteed, it would sound a lot better, but wouldn't be.
-
Who knows? And who knows if Detroit wants to meet his price. All I said was he's a good fit, can cover both safety positions and nickel.
-
Other teams just cut players, like Green Bay did with Aaron Jones. It happens all the time. Players want to stay and play in Detroit. And the Lions may not spend their cap how you want them to, but they will spend it.
-
No, but in the NFL it's understood, you generally get an up front bonus and some guarantee, but you know the non guaranteed portion is open ended.
-
No one is coerced, it's a purely logical thing, a reflection on non guaranteed contracts and changing conditions.
-
You are way too sensitive about what someone says. He's always been like that and the Lions have no issues with it.
-
Actually, Duce is perfect for this team. Simmons, Gilmore, Zietler are all fading.
-
DJ Reader is the only one I'd get too excited about, if healthy, and that's a big if.
-
Who are you going to trust, us or ****ing Spotrac.
-
It's pick 92.
-
Sure, plus, as things stand, they are likely to get a 3/4 for the loss of Jackson. If they had signed a pricey cornerback instead of the trade, that would have offset that.
-
Name a cornerback in the NFL who doesn't get dinged up, there are damned few.
-
Davis is very talented, he can cover anybody, he's just been inconsistent the last couple of years, likely due to injuries, he plays hard.
-
They were playing him at nickel because of who else they had, he's better outside.
-
Pretty much, I like the "Holmes" strategy. I'd hoard draft picks and keep pumping young blood into the system. No problem splurging on a free agent who really fits, but give up premium draft capital and pay a premium salary for one player, no.
