From what I’ve been seeing, around $12 million to sign the class but only $8 million will count towards the cap due to the top 51 contracts counting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy they're taking this so seriously on Detroit sports radio, like "Holmes said he wanted to upgrade the QB room, what are they doing" I'd say Sudfeld has 20% or less chance to be on the Week 1 roster, but will mostly be used in OTAs and camp as a guy who knows the offense somewhat and can help whoever else they sign or draft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing its not expensive and also guessing we draft a QB at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Lions have made it clear they want 3 QBs on the roster. Even their rules change ideas to the league suggest that. Problem is, people read into what Holmes says instead of just listening to him. He stated at the combine that Goff is their guy but they need to improve behind him but they weren’t going to wait until late (like last season) to address the position. They want to develop a guy behind Goff. They’ll draft a QB, this season or next, and probably not high. He said first round picks should have immediate impact. This move does not go against what Holmes stated, it falls exactly in line. It goes against headlines that were reported. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind adding another receiver in the draft. We have some talent there but are a bit thin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes might have said first round picks should have immediate impact but he has shown he is willing to be patient with the Jamison Williams pick. IMO Sudfeld will likely be the #2 guy until Hooker is cleared to return from his ACL tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
