@MrFerreira675@ItsGHardy I WANT" THE KRAKEN" IN OAKLAND NEXT YEAR.69 MIL IN CAP SPACE.LETS GET THIS BEAST ON OUR D.

Anyone catch the hardy retweet last night? I know I'm grasping at straws but, he's asking for Charles johnson type that we don't have. And it looks like he doesn't care where he gets it. I would suggest getting some value for him now while he's still got value.

It's gonna be an unpopular opinion, but if he demands even a little bit too much money, we should let him walk. In my opinion, Rivera made Hardy. He was a complete headcase, low motor player when he was drafted, and made no signs of improvement before Rivera got a hold of him. I think he would fail on the Raiders, big time, meanwhile we would have no problem filling the hole he leaves with Rivera and Eric Washington's next pass rusher.

Alexander might make this easy.

Ideally we could move him for a pick or two.

Was just thinking the same thing.

 

In the next few years we have to pay Cam and Luke.

 

I like the Kraken and all, but he is no Luke.

Let Hardy walk. Alexander is growing nicely. We have CJ, Star is starting to take shape and we have Dwan Edwards and Short for a pass rush. If we sign Hardy to a fat comtract it will be Hurney 2.0

Good DEs are something you can actually trade away and get something for....

We already failed that once, Hardy better not just walk....

    • 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.
