Wow, heās talking windows now. Thatās new.
Also sounds like heās preparing to let one or more of their young studs go? So, if he signs a big FA prepare to not retain one of Branch and LaPorta. He did say he wants to keep them, but the emphasis he made earlier seemed pretty telling.

Loose lips sink ships, and weāll get no real info on Taylor Deckerās decision to retire or not before the draft. Brad will know, but we and the league wonāt unless something goes terribly terribly wrong,

Now, who couldāve suggested that these existed?

Ha. Well, didnāt listen to the whole thing, but sounds like we may be more aggressive this free agency, if weāre talking windows.

If we sign a starting tackle in free agency that would give it away pretty fast.
Thatās not how it works today. You just lie and deny reality with a shit-eating grin. They can just say, what? Fake news. No we didnāt.

A multiyear contract would suggest that, but an old fart in the twilight of his career would keep it murky. What if the brass think that Manu is The Man or will be soon? Is that believable?
Does not sound like it. Zero mention of Manu as an option.
āLook, if itās not (possible Decker returns), then weāve got to find a guy. But even if (he returns), weāve still got to find a guy. Because, as much as I love Deck, heās got some things that are going to need some management, and thatās kind of where weāre at. So, one way or another, weāre going to need somebody who can play over there (left tackle). If we need them in a crunch, or if we need them as a starter.ā
That was Dan Campbell earlier today.

Since he literally said his preference would be to have a veteran Center then I imagine the free agency route is going that way and now probably not a free agent tackle. So if theyāre going to be aggressive thatās where they go the center and then in the draft hopefully be aggressive on the defense

i havenāt had a chance to listen. Has he talked about re-signing Jack, Gibbs, Branch, or LaPorta?
He said that about Jamal, too. Right before he low-balled him off the team.

Holmesās offered him more than he ended up gettingā¦ He didnāt lowball anyone, and kept his word
The misalignment there was Jamal misappropriating his own worthā¦ As the entire rest of the league proved.

I wouldnāt say Monty was lowballed. The Lions paid him well and they traded him to his preferred team where he will be making great money for a 29 year old #2 RB.

Iām not saying I even have a clue how much we offered.
I just had a feeling that Knuckles wouldnāt be here for OTAās.
Bradās wording was almost exactly the same as it was right before Jamal hit the bricks.
I probably chose the wrong wording when I said, ālow balledā.
