Louis Friend Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 1 yr deal, no $$ figure yet. Takes them out of Robinson talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Good - it doesn't sound like the money is crazy and I like that it's a one-year deal. If we draft a receiver or two then having a guy like Chark keeps them from having to immediately ascend to that #1 role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARE did say he wanted the Lions to sign 1 WR in free agency and draft 2 more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC421/ Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Nice high upside signing. 1 year signings are always nice, no risk here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Detroit added two void years to his deal, so he'll only count around $4M against the cap this season. Edited March 16, 2022 by Louis Friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont love kicking the can down the road. 10M seemed reasonable and adding void years seems dumb unless we are pushed up against the cap. Seems like we should be trying to get rid of dead cap and wasted space so we actually get to use our cap on players playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we should be trying to get rid of dead cap and wasted space so we actually get to use our cap on players playing. We should also have much more cap space next season, especially if Goff is cut. However, if Detroit re-signs Chark next season, I'm sure they can work those void years into that extension.

Unless we plan to spend big in free agency, why continue to extend cap hits further down the road? Goff may get cut, he also may play well and be on the team. I'd rather burn the cap space now then in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason to structure the contract in that manner would suggest they need the money this year. At least I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
