Lions cut FB Terrelle Smith

[Mr. Scot]

The Lions let him go in the wake of an incident where he was accused of going after Terrell Suggs knees. The Lions haven't said anything about the release, so no word if that was why or there was another reason (multiple sources).

Smith, 31, has played for the Saints, Browns and Lions. He's more of the sledgehammer blocker type of fullback than the hybrid type like Hoover. Sort of a younger Lorenzo Neal, but no spring chicken (he's 31, only two years younger than Hoover).

Still, with Hoover ailing and Fiammetta still learning, he might be a "bridge" option. And if, as some suspect, anybody that can possibly go on IR is going for the sake of Fox's job, you could conceivably see his name pop up here. He was someone I previously wished we would have look at in free agency.

You want to sign a guy that was cut by the worst team in the league over the course of the last 3 years? Ouch. Even the bucs would not touch that one.

Haha. Well teams usually do not cut players that can help their team unless they have serious off the field issues.

Would I sign CJ if he got cut? Hellz yeah, he would not get cut because he is such an outstanding player.

Good thought but it doesn't really stand up.

Let me ask you this: are there any Bucs that were cut last year that you would want back right now?

[niblet]

Related to Terrelle Davis?

Honestly, no. You can argue that Jeff Garcia is better than what we have but our team is better off with a future at QB than a stop gap.

BTW how exactly did someone put that xmas girl picture as my avatar? Obviously this board runs a little different than what i'm use to.

Are the Mods playing a joke on me?
