The Lions might not have a true #1 corner but they have lots of depth now. Still need a long term solution so I think it should still be near the top of the needs list at the draft. Now I'd like to see them sign an edge or Reader as has been rumored that they were in on him. Need a #3 WR too and a LG but that will likely be saved for the draft.

if cominskey's agent thought he would get more on the market, he would have declined.

he wasnt all that good last year.  not as good as he was the year before.

This one stings, not going to lie. I knew deep down in my Honolulu blue heart we wouldn't land an A-tier, marquee free agent. But man, I really wanted us to be in on Hunter and I had some small but fading sense of hope that we would land a dynamic pass rusher like Hunter. Lining up a guy with 16 sacks across Aiden sure would have been nice. Just continue to trust the Brad Holmes plan!

I’d like the Lions to see if they can take a one season flyer on Joey Bosa.  He’s due $17M and has a $7M bonus that I’m sure the Chargers would prefer to eat instead of the salary.  I can’t imagine it would take more than a 6th as he’s probably getting cut post June 1st.    He can be a beast if healthy and the risk is minor if he gets hurt early.

I fully expected it. Holmes is not going to sign top of the market free agents to multi-year deals, get used to it. It's worked so far.

Digging deeper, there are some intricacies to his contract that I’m not sure about.  He’s got a $7M restructure bonus that is part of the contract and I don’t know if that would go with him in a trade or if the Chargers are on the hook for it.   That may not even be an issue as he’s got another $7M roster bonus due on Friday.  Ideally neither the Chargers or the Lions would want to pay that.   It’s possible that he could end up just getting cut this week.

Sure no one is coerced but would you want to work for an employer that hires people and then a year later says either take a pay cut or your fired?

If you phrase it that way, of course not. But if you phrase it this way it's a good thing:

"It's the NFL and players get cut all the time and I'm sorry but you're on the chopping block. But, if you want to, we can keep you as long as you accept a pay cut. The choice is entirely yours."

Good for him.   We paid him $6.5 and he ended up doing very little.  Getting 3 years $33M after that season is great work from his agent.   Danielle Hunter should ask for his number in 2 years.

Philly's defense fell apart without him. This is a Hail Mary.

100%. 2 year contract with an exploding salary cap is not ever going to be an obstacle for signing anyone.
