Barmore had similarly meh years his first couple of years and then had a good year this year earning the contract. Alim was rated higher on PFF, had close to as many sacks, and is a better run defender. I would say the biggest difference is that Barmore played more DE than Alim did. If Alim has another year like he had, he will likely end up getting a top5 DT contract and price himself out of staying in Detroit. Well Detroit seems to be expecting that and taking DT in draft to prepare for his departure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could afford to resign Alim.. we could afford to resign almost everyone. Just don't expect any FA signings from outside in '25. Like Dallas right now.

I love having home grown talent but we can't keep everyone. I wouldn't be shocked if we franchise tag him and then either trade him or let him play out the year on the tag. But I would be shocked if we give him a big contract just ahead of Hutch needing one and after giving Sewell and ARSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see, but I think Decker signs for a much more reasonable contract to stay in Detroit if we want him. McNeil will be a significant contract and not sure we can afford a top 5 WR, OT, DT and DE. If Sewell is any indication, we will try and extend Hutch next year when eligible and I think thats the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailata just signed a 22M/year contract. That is the cap for Decker, but 18/year seems ok. He's making 15 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Want A Title Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I have never really paid attention to front office moves but I saw this article about the Bears parting ways with someone who has been an award winning scout with their organization. You can never have too many good scouts. John Dorsey is getting up there so maybe there could be a place for this guy with the Lions. https://www.chicitysports.com/chicago-bears-let-go-of-top-national-scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Lions re-sign CJ Moore to a 1 yr deal after his year suspension was lifted by the league. Great ST player and S depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to keep adding depth but wish we had someone with more upside. Either way, it was an area of concern so any extra bodies fighting for roster spots is a good thing.

Just Want A Title Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Put this in the category of being happy about a draft pick we didn't make. Johnny Newton apparently needs surgery on his other foot. That sucks for him. It isn't really clear if the Commanders had prior knowledge of the injury or if it is something that happened recenlty.

Just Want A Title Posted Sunday at 04:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:06 PM I wasn't quite sure what to think about Jake Bates but after going 12-14 and making kicks critical situations, it seems like he makes a lot of sense for the Lions to sign. James Turner was solid at Michigan but more competition can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was quite a contingent in Detroit for the draft even from Europe. Rumor is we will kick off the season on a Sunday night game and that we play San Fran on Monday in week 17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
