detroitroar Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If that's about it and we trade Slay, I'd be rather worried barring an amazing draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have rather paid him his contract than Vaitai his contract. I think Readers is more in line with his production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think we will wait for the prices to come down on the DT market. It’s flooded with talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 We still have roughly 23m to spend in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionArkie Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have a feeling not much more is going to happen with the Lions as the week goes on. Maybe depth signings, but not much more. Here is to hoping I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we release Kennard and Wagner to open up some more cap space. Vaitai has eaten up the Wagner room but Kennard opens up another $5 or $6M. It wouldn't shock me to see us make a big splash signing/trade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a trade occurring, but I don't think we outright sign people. I mean, I'm probably wrong, but also Quinn likes to hold money back. I really want to see us sign a beefy run stuffer, but I don't think it will happen. I just don't think it will. Feel free to call me out when it happens. For anybody that knows, where are we at cap wise anyways? I don't ever pay attention to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's $23 - $25M of open room and I don't think this number is including rollover from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Quinn likes to keep money in case someone gets cut or something like Mike Daniels last year. Albeit didnt work out, but that concept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I think Quinn typically holds 3-5 million back, but lets go with all the lower numbers. So subtracting all the numbers I'm coming up with 11.3 million left. If that number is right, we will more than likely sign some more. It will be interesting if we sign any race horses, or just mules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
