  • More Lions fun

    This is the kind of crap that comes out when Schwartz runs the team and while he's the coach they will never be all that good. I hope he stays for a long time.

    I read on the Footballsfuture forum the Loins have $51M tied up in 3 players: Megatron ($12.2M), Suh ($17.2M) and Stafford ($21.3M)! And we think we have cap issues.

      Titus Young was known to have character issues at Boise. He was suspended 9 games for violating unspecified team rules his sophomore year. The Lions recently have drafted a few guys with character issues, so the GM is probably as much at fault as Schwartz.

          I saw the most hilarious thing at the grocery store yesterday...one of those big cardboard cutouts advertising for the Super Bowl, with a Lion's player on it! What were they thinking when they created that??? I'll try and get a picture when I go back, I laughed out loud when I saw it

            Lions cut Titus Young. They take a 900,000 hit on the salary cap to do it. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...tus-Young.html

            Whadda loser that guy is.

              So will the Bears or Vikings try to get him? They need to upgrade the WR position and may just take a flyer on him, with the incentive that he gets to play the Lions twice a year.

                TT will sign him to replace Jennings on the cheap and look like a genius again.

                  If TT signs him, they should instill drug testing for GM's.

                      Yeah, the Lions are in cap purgatory now. They carry over very little money to the coming year's flat cap.

                      If the Packers can't come to an agreement with Woodson, I wonder if the Leos will try to sign him. Local guy, stand-up dude, all of that. And a safety - a position of need.

                      By the way, when did it become okay in the papers to call Woodson a safety? I saw him referred to that way, and it seemed that before, it was not okay to do so. They kinda muddled along without giving his position a name. But now he's officially a safety.

                        Safeback is too much of a mouthful, I guess. That's as close to the description of the nickel position he plays as you're going to get.

                        Not sure how you see Woodson going to the Lions when in the previous sentence you say they're in cap trouble? How could they possibly sign him unless on the cheap, and if he's willing to go cheap there should be a lot more desirable locations he can go to (or stay at!).

                          My thinking is they'd be tempted to re-write some contracts to free up some money. Woodson would give the team the buzz they've been missing and take the edge off their Titus Young fugg up. This is a team that was seen as a possible SB contender going into the 2012 season, and the GM is feeling a little heat now. So I'm wondering if they're going to get a little desperate and go for what they might see as a quick-fix.

                            Woodson is from Ohio.

                              Calvin Johnson, Stafford and Suh will count 51 million against the cap this year. They'll be looking to unload some contracts this year. Vanden Bosch is expected to go.
