Eh, I think OL and DL are going to get PAID this offseason. Teams realize how important trench players are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say if Spotrac undervalued him or if the Lions overpaid. Will be interesting to see what other CBs go for. But I would say he is the level of CB similar to what Onyemata is a DT and Sutton got less than him. DO was projected at 9.5M and signed for nearly 12, so it seems that Sportrac is a little light on projections for coveted guys at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Just now, Louis Friend said: Guaranteed, that's essentially what he got. Spotrac is just guessing. They do it based on metrics. It's like calculated guessing on what they deem to be market value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 13 minutes ago, Louis Friend said: Lions sign Cam Sutton. 3 yrs $33 million, $21.5m guaranteed. Per Rapoport He will be a huge help to our secondary. He has played just about every position. He has been very good in the slot and was pretty good playing outside last season. We may have paid a little more than expected but that is what happens when you draft poorly at CB (not the fault of Brad Holmes). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just helps to put in perspective how to use the tool in the future. If we're ballparking guys, are they in line or are we going to have to add a little extra in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it is worth, we will be paying Jeff Okudah $10.6 million this year assuming he is on the roster. I think Sutton's contract is solid value and yet another wake-up call for Jeff Okudah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashtagFTW Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Odd signing considering he's not very good in man coverage and we run man more than any other nfl team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers just played him all over, outside, slot, safety. He seemed to do well, but not elite, everywhere. I don't think this suggests a change to any scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVR: 67.8 RDEF: 79.7 PRSH: 83.0 COV: 53.6 I know PFF isn't the end all, be all... but I'm not seeing guys with strong coverage grades so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Lions see him as a CB that can be moved all over the secondary without too much drop-off in play (unlike Mike Hughes). Having a player like him will be very helpful if the draft Gonzalez or Witherspoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 If we really wanted to move on from D'Andre Swift and add a Plan B for Jamal Williams signing elsewhere: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/13/austin-ekeler-requests-permission-to-seek-a-trade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been stuck behind Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner for a while. He is a very under-the-radar signing that could have a big impact.
