Louis Friend Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Trumaine off the market. DT and G still big holes, besides RB. Still think we have around $9 million in cap space before any other moves. Trading Ebron for a draft pick would be great right now. Could sign a TE for a fraction of the $8 million+ he's owed.

flyguy1609 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Still think we trade ebron and a 6th for Ingram of the saints... cant believe we missed out on butler(after seeing the contract I’m happy) and Crowell like how we’re not getting the ‘big name’ fa’s and going for ‘football guys’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Dion Lewis signed a deal for $5 million/ year. Wonder what we could get Hyde for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Here's a crazy thought on a free agent...AJ McCarron. We upgrade the backup QB spot plus if he signs somewhere next year we might get a comp pick. I think the market did not go the way he was expecting maybe we can get him on a one year deal. Thoughts?

Cameron Brate got $7 million a year and he's supposed to be the #2 TE there in TB. Is Eifert going to take a discount? Who else is out there that could actually replace his production?

He would sign with the Patriots if that's the route he goes. They already expressed interest in him and its a better situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a top 10 contract for a RB. I'd rather just save the money and get a cheap RB in FA and draft another in round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago is trying to throw big money at everyone. Doesn't mean we should follow their lead. Hell, Ravens just paid $$$ to a poor WR, doesn't mean that's the market. There are still numerous TEs out there that can produce 8 good games for us for less than $8 million, especially with Stafford at QB. Hell, sign Celek and draft a TE.

If we could though, id be all for it! also with the way FA has played out, would people be willing to trade up for Vita Vea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free agency has had no impact on my desire to do anything in the draft to be honest. I think there is plenty of talent available and don't want to waste multiple resources for one guy at this point.

At minimum he would've been depth. They haven't been bringing in guys because they're satisfied with our secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it just gives us insight into how Patricia is going to structure our defense and allows us to go BPA which is ideal. Signing the two LBs we did shows us that Patricia wants to run some 3-4 hybrid defense. Both players can play in both schemes. This also means we need more LBs and that we'll need some DL that can move around in both schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¥€Ti Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Quinn said we would be mining the 2nd and 3rd tier FAs so everyone take a breath. Grand daddy Frank Gore visiting today. For the record I believe he ran for more yards than our whole team last year at age 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like overpaying 2nd and 3rd tier guys. And other teams doing so because they have $70-90 million in cap space isn't justification for the Lions wasting what little space they have.
