And Kenny Clark, and Quinnen Williams, and Dak, and CeeDee.
Jerry can go ballistic all he wants - it’s still a circus down there. We don’t have to be the winners in Free Agency, but it would be nice if we address some of our deficiencies with players that aren’t bottom of roster churn guys.

. If Sheila was nearer to death and sick of no SBs the Lions could sign Hendrickson, two safeties, any OL they want, etc. it’s just about writing cheques for massive amounts upfront and unyielding desire to field a winner this year.
Not saying it’s the right or wrong way. Likely it’s the wrong way to be honest. Just saying it’s possible, and likely to happen in Dallas.

Everyone but the Eagles, really
(Well, I mean, technically the Eagles could create more than $30m, but it’s a little more than a pen stroke because they would have to extend some contracts with void years and the player/agent need to agree to it)

Yeah, just don’t trust his judgement.
So the Cardinals and Dolphins both took my advice and ripped off the bandaids with their albatross contract QBs. Better to keep your draft picks and eat the cap hit than to look for a team who will take the contract off your hands in exchange for draft picks ala Brock Osweiller.
I will patiently wait by the mailbox until my consulting checks show up.

Current cap space vs possible with simple restructurings
But @DeadStroke
Can the Lions “agree to deals” today as long as they have the space by Wednesday?
Outside free agents can’t be processed until Wednesday at 4pm. Their own free agents, they can sign whenever they turn the contract in
His agent will have been talking to teams from the moment the Lions started asking him to take a paycut.
Don’t believe in the tampering window, these deals start getting arranged and discussed at the combine
They can’t process a release during the weekend… He likely gets released today, or traded

I expect Linderbaum to sign here.
The OL is the heart, soul and core of this team, and the key to keeping the Super Bowl window open. Signing Linderbaum is the one move above all others that most strengthens this team for now, and for the next few years.
The money is there to do it. I expect it to happen.

While I agree with this, especially with where we’re at right now, no team can just go sign all the players. There’s a reason even the big spenders let guys go all the time and go cheap at certain portions of their roster. The salarly cap is what separates the NFL from all the other leagues where teams try and buy success.
Yes, magic 8 ball is more talkative than normal today and it says free agency will be more frustrating than watching your meticulously reasoned Den mock draft being ripped to confetti by the Villain over 3 days. Enjoy.

No offense, but I hope you’re disappointed
Although he literally choked and stammered when he said it, Brad did use the term “window” in his combine presser not once but a few times. So we just might be surprised today.
Trade him and a 7th to the G men for Thibodeaux
That’s cool. Why do you feel that way?
The way I see it we can probably make one big splash signing, and nowhere else is a splash signing going to be more impactful.
What do you hope we do over the next few days?
Now there’s a move I don’t want them making
Bc Linderbaum is a terrible fit for the Lions and the money he’s going to cost can be better spent elsewhere
I’d like Jermaine Eluemunor and Cam Jordan… Mays would be fine I guess, I’m not sold completely that he’s an answer. I’d love Nick Cross
