Wouldn't bet on anybody right now, honestly.

Mind you, I wouldn't wager on many of Matt Rhule's guys surviving the offseason.

Most of them aren't even under contract for next season. 

Free agents include Darnold, Erving, Chandler, Franklin, and Walker. Robbie already got shipped out. Probably cut Chubba. I think we'll end up keeping Elf because he's proven to be a decent-to-good center and the OL will continue developing continuity.

I saw someone float the idea of the Ravens getting CMC which would be a rather interesting team.  They've often been mentioned/rumored for DJ, but Lamar & McCaffrey with that screen game of theirs would be scurrry.  Just look what ole' Kenyon Drake was able to do, and then imagine CMC there.  They'd give BUF a run for their money.

Bad cap situation in 2023 and Shaq Thompson saves us the most money (13m). He's the most logical choice if he's not traded or cut he probably gets extended to lower his cap hit for next year.

I think he's an extension waiting to happen. He's played well and has steadily improved, IMO. At 28, I could see him signing a 3 year extension to keep him around through 2026 and clear up some cap space next year.

Who do we see as being the next to punch their ticket out of this lovely completely not-awful situation?

Options:

  • No one, this was an obvious move, but should probably hold on to the big names/core talent
  • CMC (I'm sure him and Olivia would love LA or Miami)
  • Shaq Thompson 
  • Brian Burns (Contract year, no new deal yet--core piece?)
  • Ben McAdoo via firing or he just decides to stay home and doesn't come back
  • DJ Moore
  • Other, explain

 

Please don't trade CMC for peanuts. We already have a reputation as being marks for getting conned into taking terrible deals. Now that Rhule is gone, please don't underscore that belief. I don't mind dropping Robbie for nothing because he was a distraction but let's stop it there. You want our guys, bring some real draft capital to the table.

Personally I would love to see CMC with KC for his sake. Can you imagine him in that offense with an actual QB and coach? Even though it would suck not having him here, it would be exciting to watch him thrive and vie for a championship. Their first would be a late round pick and maybe we could get an additional 3rd or 4th next year or 2023. No clue if they have the cap or could make it work but that’s my hope. 
 

also DJ Moore to Green Bay makes a lot of sense.

KC already has their CMC with Isiah Pacheco and Jerrick Mckinnon and at pennies on the dollar.

    • 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.
