    Where in heaven's name do you get the idea that the Lions are abusing the cap and not spending? That is absurd.
  2. Longgone
    Probably four in the last week.

    Awesome, when healthy, which is iffy.

    He got a $48 million guarantee. That's the number to focus on. If he'd gotten a 5 year 150 million deal with 48 million guaranteed, it would sound a lot better, but wouldn't be.

    Who knows? And who knows if Detroit wants to meet his price. All I said was he's a good fit, can cover both safety positions and nickel.
  6. Longgone
    Other teams just cut players, like Green Bay did with Aaron Jones. It happens all the time. Players want to stay and play in Detroit. And the Lions may not spend their cap how you want them to, but they will spend it.

    No, but in the NFL it's understood, you generally get an up front bonus and some guarantee, but you know the non guaranteed portion is open ended.
  8. Longgone
    No one is coerced, it's a purely logical thing, a reflection on non guaranteed contracts and changing conditions.

    You are way too sensitive about what someone says. He's always been like that and the Lions have no issues with it.

    Actually, Duce is perfect for this team. Simmons, Gilmore, Zietler are all fading.

    DJ Reader is the only one I'd get too excited about, if healthy, and that's a big if.

    Who are you going to trust, us or ****ing Spotrac.

    It's pick 92.

    Sure, plus, as things stand, they are likely to get a 3/4 for the loss of Jackson. If they had signed a pricey cornerback instead of the trade, that would have offset that.
  15. Longgone
    Name a cornerback in the NFL who doesn't get dinged up, there are damned few.

    Davis is very talented, he can cover anybody, he's just been inconsistent the last couple of years, likely due to injuries, he plays hard.
  17. Longgone
    They were playing him at nickel because of who else they had, he's better outside.

    Pretty much, I like the "Holmes" strategy. I'd hoard draft picks and keep pumping young blood into the system. No problem splurging on a free agent who really fits, but give up premium draft capital and pay a premium salary for one player, no.
  19. Longgone
    One given in the NFL is that players get hurt, especially older, skilled players. So, unless it's a quarterback, investing draft capital AND a huge percentage of your payroll to one player, seems like a poor strategy.

    So state your case with other than vacuous ********, and then double down with more ********, that would be fine.
  21. Longgone
    You know, It's difficult to argue with a guy who's too stubborn to admit he's full of ****. Baez actually led the AL in range factor in '22, and led the NL in '21, and he was 5th in all of baseball last year.
  22. Longgone
    They are out of date and they are a poor measure of defensive ability. If you are going to state a case, at least use factors with some validity.
  23. Longgone
    The sixties wants to make a point.
  24. Longgone
    Tater said, "they're always going to take the talent that grades out higher. " You said, nope, wrong, he was confused. He was exactly correct.
  25. Longgone
    It is exactly correct. You are confused. The Lions will take the highest graded player, their grades having factored in all values, including positional value (to them), character, work ethic, etc.
