Still lots of FA money to squander, er I mean spend.I need something positive. Anyone?
Yeah, the thinking seems to be that he was a starter caliber player, he was just stuck behind Peters and Johnson. No reason to think he was, as he struggled whenever Peters was out. I'd have rather signed Peters personally.I wish they were keeping Glasgow. Also, I could be wrong but $10 million a year seems to make him a top 10 paid RT based on annual pay. Hopefully there are some more details in the contract because that seems very high for a career backup.
They are all questionable Lions moves!La'el Collins got 5 for 50 to play RT last year. This is a very questionable Lions move.
I think the concern in the past was bad attitude + great talent = ?For the #Lions and LB Jamie Collins, it’s a 3-year worth $30M, source said. The deal includes $18M fully guaranteed. A nice payday and a reunion with coach Matt Patricia.

Anyone know anything about him?
I could be in the minority, but I think all 4 of those were bad signings.Dolphins had quite a day:
Byron Jones: 5 years, $82.5M
Kyle Van Noy: 4 years, $51M
Shaq Lawson: 3 years, $30M
Ereck Flowers: 3 years, $30M
Still $46M under the cap for 2020
All upgrades for the Dolphons... and therefore perhaps the Lions.I could be in the minority, but I think all 4 of those were bad signings.
Lawson and Flowers are backup caliber guys. Jones and Van Noy are solid starters, but they aren't top players.
That would be a no.20% of the available cap on a backup OL. That’ll get the base fired up.
(anyone figure out yet why we didn’t just resign Glasgow?)
Not a fan of that signing. Collins bombed in Cleveland. He was good in NE, but how many guys are good in NE and aren't when they leave, even when they go to Belichick disciples? The Patriots made zero effort to try and keep him.For the #Lions and LB Jamie Collins, it’s a 3-year worth $30M, source said. The deal includes $18M fully guaranteed.

30 years old, played for 4 teams, recorded his first career sack in 2019. That’s the negative. Positive is he had 6 sacks last year. He’s a rotational guy with limited experience for his age but it’s a small deal to add depth.Overnight, the Lions signed former Bears DL Nick Williams. 2 years/$10mm,
No idea if he's any good.
At 5 a year..probably would have taken close to the same deal to stay in Detroit.Wagner signed a 2-year deal with the Packers
Good enough to at least be a rotational player for sureWeird one. I thought Kennard had been decent for us
Kennard was one of the better players on a bad defense. Must not have "bought" into Matty-Pattys system.TartanLion said:Weird one. I thought Kennard had been decent for us
At this rate, they have 3-4 more years probably.Raging weasel said:At this rate we will be rid of Patricia/Quinn by mid season. Unless Quinn can draft 4-5 quality starters this draft they will have less talent to work with than last season especially on the 2 lines. Next thing you know Lions will be signing Freeman.
You seem to know this ownership. Fords never have a fast trigger finger.At this rate, they have 3-4 more years probably.
Quickly found a landing place with the Cards (3-yr/$20M.)TartanLion said:Weird one. I thought Kennard had been decent for us
WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS?????Lions traded for NE safety Duron Harmon. described as swap of late round picks.
Come on guys, be your own men. Franchise is turning into NE light.
I will never understand how leadership at the highest level can be so incompetent. My son appears to manage his Madden team with more thought and organization.complete joke of a franchise, its clear Quinn n Fat Matt are in over their heads
If this team was anywhere near competing I would be upset about letting Slay go. However they should be in the running for the top overall pick next year so might as well get some value from Slay. I expect since the Lions have made it known that they have wanted to trade him that we will coup a late round pick. Worst organization in professional sports.Quickly found a landing place with the Cards (3-yr/$20M.)
With the Trufant signing they’ll deal Slay next. Rumor is extend & then trade to Philly.
This one puzzles me because by all accounts, this safety has been quite good. I know he only has 1 year left on his deal but I’m surprised the Pats moved him so cheaply.Lions traded for NE safety Duron Harmon. described as swap of late round picks.

Pats are not in a good spot salary cap-wise and this clears some space for them as they begin the post-TB era...Harmon is 29 and BB has a long history of letting players go a year early rather then a year late...also with Harmon, McCourty and Chung the Pats were getting too old at safety...while I hate the Collins move for you this is a good one...Harmon is a solid player who brings leadership qualities...he will help settle down the secondary and he has made a ton of big plays over the years...he is a good player to bring in as Detroit tries to establish an identity.This one puzzles me because by all accounts, this safety has been quite good.

It's tough to get a sense of how good/bad he was. Apart from the 2017 run when Peters tore his ACL and he played fine as a replacement, he never really got a ton of regular playing time. It was always spot starts or in game injury replacements. To me it's a 50/50 proposition that he could be a good player or he could get exposed. Until he gets consistent starter reps in practices and games, it's tough to guess.I didn’t see any posts in the Eagles thread lamenting his loss
Guy in the freep agrees with you,I think the team has an issue with the reputation of the GM and coach. Not for losing but for being a-holes. I really don’t think there’s a lot of love or respect for their culture or way of doing business.
Diggs and Kennard were defensive captains as voted by the players and from all accounts were two of the most popular guys on the team. Moving them out isn’t something that likely sat well with the players.Guy in the freep agrees with you,
— it makes you wonder how hard it is for the Lions to lure free agents with Patricia and Quinn in potential lame-duck years, and with enough disgruntled ex-Lions spread across the league that one agent told me this week one of those players was successfully scaring free agents away from Detroit
Great corner sliding into just good territory that is looking for a top CB contract. There are other guys in here that will be upset if he goes, I'm not one of them. Don't get me wrong, good CB are something every team needs, but he's primed to fall off a cliff soon and have a huge contract weighing down whatever franchise he's attached to. I don't want that to be the Lions.It's tough to get a sense of how good/bad he was.

Now tell me about Darius Slay. Rumor is the Eagles are working on a trade/extension with him.
He didn’t have his best year last year. Wanted a new deal in camp, didn’t get it, hasn’t been a cancer or anything but he’s clearly feeling under appreciated.Now tell me about Darius Slay. Rumor is the Eagles are working on a trade/extension with him.
