Lionized Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 #Lions are releasing LB Devon Kennard, source says. Bit of a surprise there. Team captain coming off back-to-back seven-sack seasons. Should have interest elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they looking at Jamie Collins in that role? This is a bit of a head scratcher right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Jamie has the ability to play all line backer positions it doesn’t make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have looked at Collins taking over for Davis/Jones. They must be looking at bringing someone else in and needed the cap space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionized Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Per Ian A slight plot twist: The #Lions are having conversations with teams about trading Kennard. He’ll be on the move, but it could be in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Wonder if they use Davis in that role more. He was always at his best when pass rushing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 That would make more sense. Bring Davis up closer to the LOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 According to PFF, Kennard ranked 45th at his position. Moving him frees up $5M of cap space. Hopefully it'll allow them to use Davis in a way that fits his skillset. (As mentioned above.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryTheBest Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Looks like it is official.. I really hope the plan is for JD to stay closer to the line and rush the QB. He has been bad in pass D and in his run fits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had dreams of Davis becoming our Von Miller though.. Pipedreams probably 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Jarrad Davis is 6'1", 225. If he plays closer to the line we'll never hear his name called again. As an off the ball rusher he's got talent, but sadly he's a liability in other areas of being a LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
