Trade DeWill to Lions for #2


PuntJake

Recommended Posts

draft one of the big DT's. we'll be better off in the long run because it would shore up our defensive middle for a decade.

we can't keep two starting RB's for to much longer. eventually we'll be forced to do something with one of them. get max value now for DeWill now rather than in two years or after an injury.

---------------

does anyone know how to change my username? now that my wishes have been granted by the front office, i'm ready to move on.

It would be tempting but we don't have the money to hand to a pick that high. We might be able to get someone good but we would have to pay him like a superstar and not only that but we would have to give up a real superstar to get it done.

Hmm, I know their are probably many threads about this already..but..I think it would be a hard decision..

Obviously we'd take Suh..whom is better of the two lineman.

J-Stew does seem like hew could carry the load..

But, I'd hate to see D-Will go.

:'[

I don't know what I'd do..

But I don't think this scenario would ever even happen.

So, I won't have to worry about it.

Geez, I'm rambling and rambling and rambling on here. xD

Someone wants to have a red rep meter.

why would that give me neg reps? it's a legit proposal. you may not agree with it but not agreeing with a suggestion shouldn't warrant neg reps.

what i suggeseted is a considerable option. i hate to see us wait too long and lose mega value with one of our RB's and if we could snag a stud DT rather than a 2nd or 3rd round one, i feel there would be more upside in suh's future here than trying to cling to two starting RB's.

a lot of people are saying we can't keep both backs, but why not? it's really up to deangelo and jonathan. they seem happy with the team now. if they want to go somewhere else to get paid more then that's their prerogative, but it's not certain that will happen. they really seem to be in to their roles at the moment.

"now", "at the moment"

sure, now and at the moment. what i am talking about is over the next 4-8 years (the time we'd greatly benefit from a stud DT)

Hey would any of you trade dwill and our second for Calvin Johnson? Hope I don't get neg repped for this suggestion.

no, i wouldn't, but don't worry, i won't neg rep you!

i like him, but believe DeWill is a better running back than johnson is a receiver. so the trade straight up is a move down for us so adding our 2nd.... yikes.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
