Just Want A Title Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Tracy Walker is being released. I am a little surprised they didn't make him a post-June 1st cut. That should put the Lions at about $51 Million in cap space. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39564470/source-lions-releasing-veteran-safety-tracy-walker-iii Edited February 20 by Just Want A Title 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they likely have plans for the cap space and figured they would rather have the flexibility now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnivolcm Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Best of luck Tracy. You were one of the few Quintricia picks that actually could play in this league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a 2.5 mm loss by cutting him this early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The Holmes Campbell regime has already shown more than once that treating guys with respect is worth a few bucks to them. I'm fine with it. They'll make that money back in players - from inside their organization as well as out - not having to soak them for every last dime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only kicker with the Post June 1st designation is that you don't gain the cap space until June 1st. That could be one factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detfan782004 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Barf. Resigned Badgley to one year deal. Gross. Not a great first impression at trying to improve this roster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnivolcm Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 It's so terrible that we signed a kicker who made all his kicks last year for what I'm pretty sure will be next to no guaranteed money. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 More money means it's a lot easier to justify signing Goff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
