Well, PFF says we signed an average to below average safety (#55) to the 10th most expensive safety contract.

Hurney gonna Hurney.

pff sucks, but then again, who would be available for 7.5? Also, don't say We ShOuLd DrAfT a SaFeTy. Didn't work out too well last year did it?

Thought he played OK last season, not terrible, not awesome.

I'll wait to see how this deal is structured before saying if it's a good, average, or bad signing.

I really do wish that Marty Hurney would learn to let players test FA before signing big deals though.

Wait, only 10 million is guaranteed.

 

What are y'all crying about?

Just wait for the classic Hurney "restructure"...

I'm still trying to figure out why he touched Matt Kalil's contract last year. I still haven't figured out how that did anything for us other than out us on tbe hook for more guaranteed money which is just going to cause us to take a bigger hit when we make him a post June 1st cut.

First of all an averaged amount doesn't tell you what he counts this year. I bet his cap this year is around 5 million. Which makes him a bargain. Second the 10 is guaranteed not all 22 which means we won't have a ton of dead money going forward. Third the safety market was an anomaly last year and wasn't going to be cheap going forward. Lastly he is more than just average particularly as a strong safety. Honestly he was playing out of position as a free safety. His much better position is strong safety.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
