The good thing is, by and large, this FA class sucks ass. Combined with the new premiums due to the cap jump, it’s probably the best one yet for Brad to sit out as much as possible.

A starting guard can be found on day two.
Mahogany… and Glasscow?
Probably another dude coming in via the draft.
Thank you for saying it. He was excellent, but it was his best year in a long time. I honestly don’t think he’ll be that hard to replace.

I mean, jeez, look at how good Graham looked in 2023 at RG. Pretty clear the benefit of playing between Ragnow and Sewell.

Right, and I don’t want to downplay how good Zeitler was - he was excellent - I just never thought the Zeitler or bust brigade made much sense.

There was a ton cuts for edge help and nothing. Then cutting smith. Wtf is going on
And most of those guys are old and have been terribly overpaid because of the new cap. I’m sure we were in for some of them and got priced out. And I would much rather have a GM who’s willing to walk away than one who says f-it and just pays the crazy price.

Exactly, what is the FA edge move that Brad should’ve made? Most of those deals are terrible.
The ONLY one thus far I could have talked myself into was Odeyingbo, and even then I can admit that it’s still partially betting on upside.
I shall continue enjoying our shrewd GM who isn’t baited into bad FA deals.

Honestly I won’t be completely surprised if we bring Z back at a greatly reduced price.

So sign a guy who cant stay healthy. Chase young wasn’t cut, but top 10 in almost everything for a edge rusher. Just take me off the edge
Agrred… and….
I still wouldn’t be surprised if Za’Darius is re-signed.
Brad may have wanted him to take a pay cut…
and then agreed to have him test the market to see if he could get a btter offer.
He hasn’t signed yet… so looks like no other team was in a hurry to hand him more than $10 million either.

Were ok we kinda fixed at DT now , online and DE first 2 pics, and Kevin Winston Jr in the 3rd. Looking much better.
Good for him. Good for the Titans who can use his leadership and experience, maybe like the Lions used Michael Brockers, (which I was totally against, but look where we are now). He won’t be playing between 2 elite OL players and father time can catch up in a hurry.
So we’re getting beans!!!

The off-season just started. The doom.and gloom from a portion of the Lions fanbase is way over the top.
With that said, there are clear holes at Guard and Edge that need to be addressed but I’m not going to shit on an excellent GM who has earned a ton of rope until the off-season is complete which is not March 12th.
Chase got $17 million AAV… doesn’t play hard far too often.
And… has missed over 20 games in 5 seasons.
