Lionized Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 March 16, 2020 is just a little ways away. What players are y’all hoping the Lions target to add to our roster and why? Here is a short list of top FA that could be available if not already signed or Franchise Tagged. https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2868659-nfl-free-agency-2020-previewing-this-years-class.amp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My ideal but unrealistic scenario: Sign Yannick Ngakoue, Crhis Jones and Jack Conklin (draft Jeffrey Okudah in Rd 1, John Simmons Rd 2). If Darius Slay holds out for a new deal he will probably get traded. I would like the Lions to trade for Tanoh Kpassgnon if the Chiefs re-sign Chris Jones). He is underutilized in KC and could really flourish with the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) The Lions are around 20th in cap space. Based on how Quinn has done in free agency so far, I expect the team to mostly go after depth signings, but you never know. Flowers was a huge surprise last year and Quinn has to know that his job is on the line. Wouldn't surprise me to see a OL shakeup. Wagner is overpaid and I could see Quinn following the "Patriot Way" and letting Glasgow walk if he wants too much money.

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 "Man, I wish Quinn and Patricia would stop signing quality free agents that they have first-hand knowledge of. Using their advantages to better the roster is something that true fans should complain about." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowers was solid, but anyone else? Amendola? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest were low-cost depth players that either had a minor role or were released before the start of the year. Of course, fans will still complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started the season slow after recovering from off-season surgery, then missed time recovering from a concussion. He STILL finished with 7 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, 36 solo tackles (t-12th from edge defenders) and 14 assists (t-6 from edge defenders). We also watched him dominate Bakhtiari on two huge plays (that All Pro LT), that, if officiated correctly, would've secured a win against a 'good' team. And he's only 26. If anything, Flowers reinforced how effective a player he is, and with a struggling supporting cast. Of course, of all you have for this team is blind hate, you may just ignore all of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice attempt to polish the turd @TL-TwoWinsAway. Everything you said is true, and he still fell drastically short of being worth the contract in year one.

One can look at his performance, production, consider the snaps missed due to injury and his young age and deduct that it was, in fact, a good signing, as the team has him under contract for an additional 4 years. It's that darn context stuff again, I swear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love it if you'd do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
