Motown Bombers

I still think Biden aging is a bigger scandal.

I still have no idea why someone from the Bears from office was coveted and not the Lions.

The Vikings are $40 million over the cap.

Another confirmation that it was there and purged.

They got two young safeties, young TE, and a young edge. They also have Frazier, Ratledge, and Mahagony for interior depth.

So the Vikings are $40 million over the cap and they don’t have someone like Goff they can restructure. They also don’t have a lot of draft picks. Everyone may be available from Darrisaw to Jefferson to Greenard.

BTW, the Vikings are the poster child for trying to win free agency.

Been saying for a while he's overrated and a terrible drafter but still surprised by this move. They just extended him. Considering also how late they fired him, I think it may be for personal conduct and not on field performance.

Restructuring is also not free money. Restructuring Goff frees up a lot of cap space but you are spreading it out and tacking on void years. You are basically stuck with Goff for the next three years at least. Given he's 31 and probably has several more years of prime, the Lions will be fine with that. Restructuring someone like McNeil I would hesitate. He's a big man coming off a serious knee injury and didn't look good. I'm not sure I want to chain myself to him right now. Sewell and St Brown are pretty safe restructure candidates. Again, there is risk to restructuring.

You cannot restructure contracts in perpetuity.

Sewell you would probably want to restructure next year or the year after. St Brown probably 2029 at which point you may just sign him to an extension.
