Exactly. It makes the trade of future draft pick(s) easier to think about. Say we keep next year's #1 pick? It will probably be a pick in the high 20's or so. Take an edge rusher at that spot and hope he develops into a good to above average rusher. Or just trade that pick, maybe along with another, to get an established edge rusher for this season. Yes, that player would be more expensive and not under team control for as long but we wouldn't have to play the "what if" game. This week in Green Bay may really expose our weak pass rush. It needs to be dealt with and not by practice squad players. We need a legitimate pass rusher (or 2?).

Yeah, that's why I said it doesn't make sense. I thought it was a typo. Maybe it meant a 1st round pick and a 3rd rounder that would move up if we made the SB?

That site also has a Miles Garrett rumor to the Lions for major draft stock. I don't see Brad giving up so much but...we'll see; (It doesn't make sense.) Garrett Trade Proposal to Detroit Lions In a proposed trade from Alex Kay of Bleacher Report, the Cleveland Browns would send Garrett to the Detroit Lions for a big package. "Browns would get: 2025 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, conditional 2026 third-round pick that would become a 2026 first-round pick if the Lions reach the Super Bowl." https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/cleveland-browns/trade-pitch-garrett-to-detroit-lions/

Smith seems to have a team friendly contract, affordable. At least, if this story is true. It sounds like he wants to play in Detroit. "He signed a two-year, $23.5 million deal this offseason to remain in Cleveland." https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/cleveland-browns/zadarius-smith-trade-lions-imminent-garrett/

Well, whoever it is, I'm going to be excited. Brad has to make a deal, this could be our year....finally!

How about Jeffery Simmons of the Titans? Any thoughts?

This Yankee lineup is so deep...I just can't see them not winning.

Freddie is SO clutch. It's almost....predictable.

Well, the Lions had multiple front offices. For years...they just couldn't ever get it right. Chicago hung onto their coach for some strange reason. He should have been fired at the end of last season, IMO.

With multiple front offices too. It's not like we had the same fools drafting, we had several GMs who just didn't use the early picks we had to properly rebuild our team. Just look at all the QB we drafted...Chuck Long, Andre Ware, Charlie Batch, Joey "blue skies" Harrington...and probably a few I missed. And then the later picks that's been pointed out we missed on and you have the....SOL years (decades.)

Winning 6 to 9 games a season puts teams in that horrible place of not good enough to contend for the SB but also too many wins to get high draft picks. It's painful for teams to trade away talent but getting as many draft picks as they can would help them contend sooner. Of course, they would need to draft wisely, not like Detroit and Cleveland did for SO many years.

This gives me joy...hopefully the Bears miss the playoffs in a tiebreaker...

Washington with a hail mary TD pass to break the Bears hearts. Good job!

I heard it was a groin injury. We'll see...

So...are we rooting for Dallas or SF tonight? I say Dallas...

Best start in 68 years. Oh my...

Goff benched!!

Detroit is going to overtake Washington as the best scoring team. Average points per game and net point difference. Outstanding...

A Hooker for the 4th quarter?

I bet he's gonna sit out the 4th quarter.

I wonder if Campbell will just run the clock to avoid embarrassing ANOTHER team...lol

Believe the announcer? Raymond is the only player in history with a punt return TD and a receiving TD in the same game? I don't believe it

Lol...announcer said something like...Raymond was SO open he could run from here to Nashville...lmao
