He has been brutal the last few weeks….really all year when he’s not been injured. If he wants to resign for $7m I might be interested but I would not pay him one more dime than that. Also would draft his replacement next year and make his contract team friendly to be cut in 2025.

So did Barnes.

The Barnes whiff was awful. But the refs also didn’t call two blatant holds on that play

That missed safety was inexcusable. Looked like he was trying to make the big hit rather than wrapping him up.

The Barnes hate is getting a little ridiculous. This guy is a 4th rounder still on his rookie contract next year. He has been a very good run stuffing LBer and has had a fair amount of success rushing the passer. He has gotten better year after year.
He ■■■■■■ up and whiffed on a big play. If Prescott throws an incompletion there nobody is talking about it.

I’m not proposing he gets cut but that missed play was a killer. Basically gave up 9 points by just not wrapping up. He’s definitely improved this year. Hopefully he cleans up a few things next year and we can get him on a team friendly deal.

Barnes is useful. It was awful but he’s a nice piece. Not sure 'm into a second contract but he’ll help us next year.
Jonah depends on the money. He might be in prove it deal-vile.
1/6M. Show the league you can still play and we draft some insurance.

Barnes would be a solid backup to have for depth. His play last night on the blitz was awful but overall he’s solid.

Jonah is usually a pretty good run blocker. But his pass blocking has been pretty sketchy all season. Yesterday he sucked at both

Ridiculous? No. It was an absurd attempt to sack the quarterback that at best was incompetent and worse very … say … questionable.
He cost the Lions 9 points.
It’s the worst blunder I’ve seen this team make since DanO stepped out of bounds.

There’s going to be turnover
And y’all will have others to blame.
Don’t worry.
Some of them might actually be even worse
What a season by the Lions ! Playoffs baby ! Let’s go Jonah and Barnes !

He made a bad play, and you want him cut. Barnes has played fairly solid most of this year and is a top level run defender at LBer.
What kind of message would it send to the team if they cut Barnes? Didn’t Vildor actually give up the 90+ yard TD? If he keeps his feet it’s likely just a 40-50 yard gain.
I get it, it was a shit play and was a massive swing. No only was it a 9 point difference, but the Lions would’ve got the ball back as well.

I agree with everything you said about Jonah. Glasgow also got his ass kicked last night.

Yes he did. Awful.

Barnes and Jackson are not championship-level starters. They need to be replaced next season.

I hate to say it, but our first two picks need to be DL and OL.
Probably need a decent off-season signing of a D-lineman as well.

Barnes has already been replaced. He’s LB3. That is fine. Agree on Jonah unless he’s super cheap. The wrist may be really effecting him x he was good last year.

I really can’t explain it. Watched the play several times. This is an NFL linebacker that almost killed Justin Fields a couple weeks ago.
Now he’s scared of contact. Extremely fishy play.
Barnes needs to take some acting lessons to make it look more believable
