The Lions are a Long way down the Waiver wire list. I’d expect the Titans or Panthers to pick him up.
I saw the name and was so confused thinking that the former michigan cornerback bulked up… good to know he is still a corner on indy
There won’t be a ton of teams lining up to take on a 3mil+ cap charge for him. I won’t guess someone claims him but I doubt it’s anyone in the top 10 on the waiver wire.
That’s why I wonder if the lions may be a player… After losing JRM and Barnes and Rodrigo injured, what is his specialty? Doesn’t seem like it’s coverage. Is he a good run stuffer and can pressure the QB?
The lions have enough cap and some need.
Rodrigo and Iffy are coming back very soon. Barnes is about a month out.
We’re already having to cut people we don’t want to.
I don’t see it.

Barnes won’t be back this season… IF, if he does, it wouldn’t be until the playoffs.

He was great in run defense last season, not sure why his play dropped off… I believe they changed DCs this season. He’s a big liability in coverage
If he makes it down the wire long enough to reach the Lions, they’d be better off just passing on him. Once he clears waivers, he’s free to sign with anyone and Miami is on the hook for his cap hit. The Lions are near the end of the wire anyway.

Looks like we got him! Feels like a fit. Probably more the SAM role as Rodrigo can play the Will

Other team’s fans on hearing Lions signed David
Long, “The rich keep getting richer. Why couldn’t our GM claim him? First Z. Smith now Long. Wish our GM had a clue. Lions keep making moves to win it all”

Yeah I think Long will be the backup Mike and Sam(shouldn’t be replacing Trevor). Turner will backup Rodrigo I think.
