The #Lions deal for WR Golden Tate is five years for $31M with $13.25M guaranteed, per source.

That's a great deal for the Lions.

Won't make for a parade on Mint/Morehead, but good for the Panthers too. Two different ways-Seattle loses playmaker and Detroit won't go WR in the first as has been so often mocked-pushes all WR down the board. Good news.

When are you people going to realize the cap can be contorted to do whatever you want?

The worst teams in the league consistently have the most space for a reason. We don't sign players because of a foolish outdated mentality. It has very little to do with being "cap-strapped."

 

Because they are shitty franchises and continue to make bad decisions.

Lol wait wait wait I thought participating in free agency in any capacity was a bad decision

 

No.  Just overpaying in the first wave of FA is usually the modis operandi of poorly managed franchises.  That is why you see the same "Big" players on the fist day of FA every year.

How do they have all that cap space if they're routinely overpaying for players on a yearly basis

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
