Luke Willson signs with Detroit for .... 2.5 million?

[Jeremy Igo]

WT actual F? 

2.5 million? A good TE2 is not worth that much to us?

[jamos14]

Simonson FTW!

 

He's the next Gronk.

That's a little disheartening, but maybe he wanted a clearer path to being a #1 and not in the shadow of a player like Greg.

[Nate Dogg]

He grew up a Lions fan. Imagine playing for the team you always dreamed of being on as a kid. Tough to compete with that.

Hurney must be playing some serious hardball.

Its a one year deal though. I could understand if it was long term. But one season? 

 

Probably sees Detroit as a better place to showcase himself and really cash in next year.

Gets to be a primary option instead of a backup in Detroit. 

[BrianS]

It makes sense to me.  He comes here and he's a clear #2 TE in an offense that throws the ball less than the team he went to.  He goes there, becomes the clear #1 TE in an offense that throws a lot more.

No brainer tbh.

 

[nosuchthingasapanther]

isn’t he from canada?

closer to home?

sometimes money isn’t everything.

Yep.

Passing on drafting a TE instead of V.Butler looking really stupid right about now.

Yeah, but pretty much everyone knows this is Greg's last year. He had the opportunity to replace the only TE that has had three consecutive 1000 yard seasons
