Lions signed CB Tre Flowers to their practice squad.
According to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, the Lions signed Flowers to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 30-year-old veteran began his career with the Seahawks and bounced around since then, totaling four interceptions and 22 passes defended in seven seasons. With injuries to Terrion Arnold and D.J. Reed, Flowers adds depth to the Lions’ secondary.
That’s not Kendall Fuller!
Sometimes I just don’t get Brad, there is a couple actual good players out there. He’s always going for the smartest guy in the room types cripples or players that haven’t been very good.
and
Must be on a serious diet
Do you have to use up three practice squad spots for three flowers?
@Thats2 Brad’s collecting Pokes.
He has always been the smartest of the GMs.
Now add Korie Black!
That’s not even Brandon Flowers
Were good. It seems to work to say that.
He’s a safety IMO
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Like AQM, huh?
It cracks me up that fans think Holmes makes these decisions in a vacuum without consulting with DC at all. There is no way Holmes would sign anyone if that player didn’t get the stamp of approval from the coach. Yet DC can do no wrong, and Holmes can do no right when it comes to signing players.
“I think we would look for somebody for help. I haven’t talked to Brad (Holmes) yet about all of this. So we’ll discuss this,” Campbell said. “But we may need somebody for help for practice at a minimum. So, we’ll discuss it. (s: POD)
There are 29 other teams talking to guys all of the time.
Plus, if they’re so good, ask why they aren’t on a roster all ready.
This is exactly why every team has a director of pro scouting. There is so much roster churn over a season, you need to scout the league as much as you scout college. A lot of them are guys you liked during the draft process who failed at their first stops for one reason or another, but most of it’s the same as college - evaluating actual pro tape.
For the record, here’s our DOPS:
Another missed acronym opportunity.
Director Of Player Evaluation.
That’s cool, here is our Director of College Scouting!
That was Brad’s job with the Rams when we hired him.
