I see him as a total MCDC guy with his competitive attitude and his desire to win. That’s why I think there’s a legit shot of us making this move.
This is a risk that the Lions have to start taking. If it doesn’t work out then you move on simply. If it does…
If he has a desire to win he should have stayed in Cleveland, they made the playoffs and won a playoff game just last year.
Can we afford him? With all the cuts and the Stafford trade, we might be close to the cap.
Cleveland restructured his contract, so it’s a 1ish million cap hit now right @DeadStroke?
Most of it is salary bonus now.
The only reason I would consider OBJ is to evaluate Goff. The excuse is he has no WR’s, well get him one, he is still gonna suck, but at least it will be more clear for the Goff lovers.
Also, don’t see the downside in a lost season.
Who’s this Tyrell?
House Tyrell of Highgarden is the ruling house of the Reach. Their stronghold is Highgarden.
LOL - That was really quality stuff, man.
Getting a comp 3rd by letting Golladay walk is an A+ in my book but yeah, signing two injury prone receivers as his main FA signings and neglecting the position until the 4th round of the draft doesn’t inspire much confidence. Not to mention the useless Benson trade.
Agreed on this for sure! Sucks Tyrell got concussed so bad, he would have helped a bit. The dude did have 4 decent seasons in the nfl, including one over a 1000 yards. The Lions just have the worst luck. Decker, Okwara, Ragnow, Williams, all these dudes were meant to be solid starters and combined for about 100 snaps all year. All making serious $$$ - sigh
Lol at the idea of OBJ playing nice with Goff. He’d be furious in the very first game.
Getting obj and if it don’t work out trading him to a team in the off-season for a pick or two and we literally would of sacrificed almost nothing for some free picks
So now we don’t have cap space to sign him.
Great…
Cooper Kupp was an accident I guess
Holmes was GM when Kupp was chosen? News to me.
Let’s not pretend Les Snead wasn’t making the decisions there or that they didn’t have many cooks in that kitchen.
Benson and Hodges!
Apparently not . . . I thought it would be much more than originally reported, but I didn’t expect $7.25M of base salary . . . which means nothing was bonused, which doesn’t make any sense either.
Well, if this GM thing doesn’t work out for Holmes, he’s a natural for a DOD procurement department.
Ohhhh wait, I may have called the Internet over for today early…
