I did read there was another kicker as good as or better than Moody. But wow, 3rd round. The 49'ers kicking game is all set for 15 years. Moody is THAT good.
We have him cheap for 4 years. Years 3 and 4 may be his, if he produces. Goff may be asking about $50m a season. If he actually maintains his good play.
Goff is going to be very expensive. Moving on from Swift was necessary for money reasons as well as his inability to stay healthy. Holmes is actually looking towards the future as much as he is for next season.
No matter how good the Lions become, negativity is rooted deeply in some people. And it creates a twisted, strange, sense of humor. Holmes built a playoff contender in a very short time.
Way to take it out of context.
"He is in the Austin Hooper mold and projects as a low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 on an NFL depth chart."
And evading the question. Who do you see as our TE1?
I should have been more specific. Brad Holmes is the best Lions GM in my lifetime. I'll die on that hill. Just let him pick, we're on our way to a deep playoff run.
