Lions extend Alim McNeill

Way to much money for a guy with 10 career sacks Brad got taken

Not worth it sorry he is not worth that type of money he is not a top 10 DT

Exactly

thats a fair deal for him overall

And we Know BH, likes to add void years and all that jazz to the contracts, similar to ARSB, expect it to be light the first year in cap hit, but second year is gonna be the big one.

Wow if I am seeing this right, he is now the 4th highest at $24.5/yr and the 2nd highest in Guaranteed money on the Lions

If we werent gonna pay him, someone else was, maybe even more arguably

got him at a good deal, market is gonna jump, and in a couple season (Like most contracts) it will age well, and hes a huge part of our Dline.

He stops the run. Stopping the run is the engine behind this team winning. Since the beginning of last season (including playoffs) we are 3-4 when the opponent rushes for 100+ yards, and 15-3 when they don’t. You pay to keep your engine running.

Your right. He is a top 5.

Kerby, Hutch and Jamo will be this offseason in some form or another

could get Jamo on a decent deal, given how his first few years shaped up

Hutch, you give him the kings ransom

Kerby… if he gets an all-pro this season, gonna be big bucks too

Really thinking that Barnes could be gone unless hes back on a cheaper deal.

As long as we somehow still have money to pay Hutch, Jamo, Kerby, Gibbs, Branch, and LaPorta, then I’m very happy we got this deal done.

Second year in a row PFF has him as a Top 10 DT. Sneaking up on their Top 5 this season.

I think Brad will try to find a way, but i do agree, we are getting to that point where we need to make some choices on who we keep and who we dont.

He is a disruptive force in the middle

why I think our Dline will still be good is that him and DJ Reader provide enough disruption that even okay Edge’s should benefit from it.

still need a decent DE piece though from a trade.

well I don’t think they can keep Kerby and Branch. Kerby is 2025 and Branch is 2026
Not both and extend Hutch/Jamo

If they can then Great!!

Alim is just 24 years old with a May Bday. I think he has yet to hit his ceiling. I am beyond glad he is here 4 more years.
