Motown Bombers

I haven’t seen our friend Melifonwu sign anywhere. Could be good safety depth.

Keep in my the Lions have seven day three picks. They will likely draft a back.

Montgomery was a luxury. When he signed, Jamaal Williams was a free agent and we had Swift. Swift struggled with injuries and hadn’t proven to be a number one yet. Gibbs is the number one and one of the three best backs in the league. This isn’t a 1A/1B situation anymore. This is clearly RB2.

Remember, Raymond and Anzalone were these day two/three bargain pickups that went on to have good careers with the Lions. They don’t have to break the bank on top free agents.

Plus the Raiders have the #1 pick this year and will get a QB. I could come around to the Raiders overpaying for Linderbaum. A young QB to pair with a veteran Center.

The thing with the backup QB is, Goff hasn't missed a regular season snap in 3 years. You just need a QB who's ready in the off chance they have to play. Someone who can run this offense. That is not Justin Fields. Kirk Cousins would be perfect but he won't sign a cheap backup contract.

I mean, I would still take Stafford over Herbert. I also think most Lions fans wanted Tua. Wasn't it tank for Tua?

Those are mostly depth positions.

It was tongue in cheek. Murray doesn't fit Petzing's system. They need a pocket passer like Goff.

Kyler Murray is available. He's familiar with Petzing's system.

I don’t understand how so many people fall for this guy.

I wanted to re-sign Lopez.

The most active teams in free agency appear to be the Raiders, Titans and Saints. Teams that haven’t been very active, Eagles, Seahawks, Broncos. Hmmm…

Well there it is.

Decker is still on the roster. I’m wondering if they patched things up?

No you can’t. That isn’t free money. You’re just pushing it out a couple more years. There’s a reason no team in the league has $90 million in annual salary to pass rushers.

Looks like Daniel Bellinger signed with the Titans. I liked him a lot for TE depth.

Even if it were true, Tater still doesn’t understand the Lions literally cannot afford $47.5 million annual salary. With Hutchinson that would be over $90 million in pass rushers. The bookend pass rushers for the 2015 Broncos were Von Miller, who was still under his rookie contract, and Demarcus Ware who signed for 3 years $30 million. They had 11 and 7.5 sacks, less than Hutchinson and Muhammad. They didn’t spend over 30% of their cap in pass rushers.
