1984Echoes Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 13 minutes ago, holygoat said: Amon-Ra is likely to get $25m at a minimum, and Goff north of $45m. But also... These extensions would take effect in 2025, not 2024. So the Lions have two years to do some cap management to be able to manage the extensions to our best players... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Goff already has a large cap hit. An extension would likely lower his cap hit at least initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 the nfl salary cap is too complicated for us mere mortals who dont have all the details to figure out. with that said, tater's estimations are way too optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 On 2/5/2024 at 4:40 PM, NYLion said: There's no way that you get Goff, Hunter and J. Reynolds for that cheap. Those numbers aren't even close IMO. Even old Gilmore will probably get more than that coming off his best season in a while. I also think Ra will get north of $100m on a 4 year deal. Hunter signed a deal last year for 1 year at $17 million but all of it was guaranteed. If you give him more years but similar guaranteed money overall I don't think it is farfetched to thing 2 @ $23 million is way off base. I had Goff at an AAV of $42 million per year. If I am way off on Goff then are we thinking he's going to be making Joe Burrow money at an AAV of north of $50 million or more per year or $50 million per year with incentives and bonuses as apart of that number? So is Goff going to cost us 4 @ $210 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hunter held out for that contract. He was under contract from a 5 year $72 million contract he signed in 2018. The Vikings reworked the final year on his contract. No way is he taking a pay cut after a career year. Goff is getting $50 million per. Burrow is at $55 million per. Goff is probably looking at 4/200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Khalil Mack is likely available. The Chargers are up against the cap and he has a huge cap hit. Already rumors the Chargers want to move him. More likely a cut candidate given his huge contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I think Holmes can find pass-rushers in the draft. And a lower cost free agent pass-rusher or bookend DE that will be effective enough to help out Hutch & the D-Line. It's CB that is always a problem to find a guy good enough. The only FA I want Detroit to sign, at least as a priority where serious money is spent, is at CB. Probably $18M AAV for the top or near-top guy out there. If Sneed gets squeezed out by the Chiefs' salary cap. That's the one and only free agent priority I have. That's the guy I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don’t think the Raiders would immediately say no, but I think their asking price would start at three 1sts, which is not something in the ballpark of reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find (draft) our own Maxx Crosby. Wasn't Crosby a 3rd rounder? Holmes could do that. I think I even spotted a potential Crosby floating around in the mock draft 2nd round this year... Chris Braswell seems like a Holmes/ DC type of guy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably should listen but the Raiders would immediately say no. You used logic and in doing so broke rule #1 when talking about the Raiders. If it makes sense to everyone else, they are probably doing something different. Edited February 9 by Hongbit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_R Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Every GM is going to pick up the phone if any other GM calls. But no, a brand new GM of a team with a new head coach is not going to trade away his team’s leader, its best player, and one of the best players in the league, who is in his prime and under contract, to take a flyer on a trade package anchored on pick number 29.

Draft choices are gold. Send them a few and it may entice them. At least, I can dream. The Raiders would be idiots to trade him so there's a good chance they might. 😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions are contenders and the Raiders are rebuilding. I know it won't happen but getting Crosby (or a similar monster) would make our weak secondary instantly better.

holygoat Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It's not like the Raiders are the Panthers or the Pats. They have a decent defense and good weapons on offense. Give them a legit QB and they're a playoff team. Yes, the Raiders do dumb things, but not even they are dumb enough to move Crosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would probably cost too much revenue in contract and draft picks. I hope Holmes can find a Crosby in the draft. Draft defense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall chatter that if the Raiders didn’t retain Pierce, Crosby would consider demanding a trade. But they did retain Pierce and nobody has said a word about Crosby wanting out. If Crosby actually did want out, and if the only way anyone knew was to call Tom Telesco, well, that would mean Crosby has a pretty bad agent. Holmes swinging a trade for Crosby is Madden-tier fanfic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
