Tomorrow

That would be my hope. then tell his agent to find him a team in the AFC that will pony up the picks we need. Hell maybe Buffalo at #11. They need the pass rush and now that Marshawn Lynch just got busted for a felony possession charge, they are REALLY going to need to upgrade that defense :D

Gross getting tagged is bad business. tag the guy you can get a return on. We tag gross then get a multi year deal done we are worse off as we still don't have a first round pick this year AND we let a guy walk that was a greater trade value.

They need to get off their collective asses and work out the deal for Gross. Whatever 'language' is the issue, fix it already! Tag peppers and lets get some picks for him.

I agree the team should just give the man what he wants if they want to keep him and get something for peppers.

It was my understanding there was some issue with the language of the contract that was offered before, not the money involved. Uh ok, fix the damn language, structure it how gross wants and lets move on.

      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.
