I’ll say worse since Swift only netted a 4th and he was younger and more explosive. Montgomery also doesn’t have a cheap contract. They may not have a trading partner at all. 

I was looking at teams that had crappy records (lack of leadership and/or toughness), crappy RB's, and an excess (2 or 3 or so) of 4th or 5th round picks.

I settled on the Raiders, Browns and Cardinals.

I'm holding out hope...

With their recommitment to the run and that being their identity, I wouldn't be shocked if they make a run at Tyler Linderbaum. He'd be pricy, but if you want a Ragnow replacement he's as close as you're going to get.

I really like Paye and Bush.

Couple of UM guys who might be happy to come home to the Lions and contend for Super Bowls and they address DE and OLB needs...

Paye did line up opposite Hutchinson at Michigan.

I have my doubts he makes it to free agency. Either he signs an extension with Baltimore or gets franchised.

The articles I’ve read seemed to point to Baltimore keeping Linderbaum. Declining his fifth year option was not because they don’t want him but because they intend to renegotiate.
