Motown Bombers Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The Sewell and St Brown contracts are already updated on OTC. The Lions did not use void years on Sewell's contract and only used a $1.7 million void year on St Brown. The cap hits go up significantly around 2027 but the Lions have options to restructure or add void years. These seem like manageable contracts and they didn't tack on a bunch of void years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Which NFC North team do you feel had the best overall draft and offseason? Which one do you think will be the biggest threat to the Lions not just next year, but over the next several years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygoat Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I don't know s**t about any of the players who got drafted, but I think the Packers will be the Lions biggest competition in the division going forward based on their history and the fact that their QB is more proven than Chicago's and Minny's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions Bears Packers/Vikings Lions are the best team in the division on paper, but they will get a run for their money from the bears if williams is as good as advertised. with that said, other than cj stroud there havent been too many hyped rookie qbs who set the world on fire in their rookie years. there are usually some growing pains. the packers and bears both have achilles heels: their olines. the lions have them both beat there. the vikings are trying to make due with a less hyped rookie qb who will probably need more time to grow.

Yup. Green Bay finished the season 6-2, smoked Dallas IN Dallas and then gave SF a scare. Love looks like the real deal. I'm glad the Lions are better...

MichiganCardinal Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) I was thinking in the 2021 Draft Grade thread.... If we aren't going to re-sign Alim because of cost (which I don't think is a foregone conclusion, but is possible), is there any chance Brad looks to move on him before the trade deadline? Particularly if Martin makes progress this year and Mingo looks like he's here to stay? I'd hate to see Alim go, he's one of my favorite players on that defense, but I'd hate it even more if he went for nothing. And high quality DTs don't grow on trees, especially not at 24 years old. I expect he might command a high 2nd or a low 1st though, and if you're not going to re-sign him it's hard not to think long and hard about that return on investment.

If he can help us get to the Super Bowl next season, we’ll risk losing him (potentially offset by the guys you listed). If this team is selling, even from a position of strength, something went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I'm guessing 4 years / $200MM with $130MM guaranteed for Goff by the end of OTAs in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think 4/200 is the floor. Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson all signed 5 year deals for 250+. Goff is older than those QBs so I think it will be a 4 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll reset the market above Burrow, Herbert, and Jackson, though that's probably where his side started in negotiations. I could see him getting 4/210 to put him over top of Jalen Hurts and roughly even with Lamar and Herbert... I agree the four years makes the most sense based on his age and what the Lions have done with ASB. It would align those two contracts. Ultimately though I think both sides want it done, so it'll get done... eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what their source is. I'm assuming local sources. Herbert signed for 5/262 so 4/210 would be about right for Goff. Probably 100+ guaranteed.

At least his agent isn't releasing publicly that he wants more guaranteed money on the first day of the draft when everyone is watching like another player who played QB for both the Rams and Lions.

Yeah Rams fans don't like that. Apparently Stafford refused to restructure his contract to help the Rams with the cap. he restructured multiple times with the Lions. I bet it's Kelly who wants the money guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRivdogs Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The Rams should trade Stafford to the Falcons in exchange for Kirk Cousins. By the time his contract expires Penix might be ready to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
