Jameson_Neat Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 5 minutes ago, Louis Friend said: Lions save over $5 million guaranteed remaining on Okudah’s contract this season, giving them roughly $28 million in capspace still. They also don’t have to pay $10+million for his fifth year option. Getting a 5th is a steal considering there's zero chance he's going to be a $10 million dollar player after this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions were not going to pick up his fifth year option and the money on his contract was not going to net us a day 2 pick. I’m happy with it.

Plus Campbell says he evaluated guys on tape and not on pajamas. Witherspoon also played with Kerby in college. Just a much better fit. Gonzo is just taller. I don’t think this means Lions are locked into a CB at 6. Lions will go BPA and always were. But I could see Witherspoon being their guy.

MacReady Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 That’s a whole lot of physical talent for a 5th round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are going to get your version of Jaire in Witherspoon and I'm not thrilled about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Really like this for Atlanta. If he doesn't work out, only a fifth round pick was lost. If he becomes even just a solid starter for them, that's well worth giving up a fifth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Okudah just can't stay healthy. He's dealt with both serious injury and soft tissue ones. Hasn't been particulary great even when on the field. Seems like a classic guy who will bounce around the league the next few years due to his draft stock, but be an afterthought. I can see why the both teams made the move though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Last year, he "flashed" mostly in run support. In coverage, even in his best stretches last year he was mediocre. He had one really good game against Justin Jefferson. I don't have specific knowledge of this, but based on watching the games and the pattern of how it happened, I think the Lions coaches always had a problem with getting him to execute his assignment only and not to freelance. I think his benchings late in the season had a lot to do with that. I guess Jamo will be wearing #1 this season, I suspected it all along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witherspoon is a perfect fit for what Aaron Glenn wants at the CB position, and he played with Kerby Joseph at Illinois. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
