2017 Lions Free Agency thread

What about Robert Turbin as a cheap option? Dual purpose goal line back/ reward for me hanging onto him in our dynasty league for all of these years.

We already have plenty of mediocre running backs. Washington, Zenner and Riddick come to mind.

This year's draft seems to be gearing up for one of the most unpredictable in a little while... But I want Leonard Fournette and that won't happen... I can wish, right?

Andre Roberts signed with ATL.

Andre Roberts signed with ATL.

Yup, when we brought Keyshawn in it was pretty much a done deal.

 

[RobBase]

Hearing AP will decide between Lions and Packers...

 

[Mebert]

Super rare that an over 30 back produces after switching teams, but if anyone would buck the trend it would be him.

Go, Pack, Go?

I'd rather not have Adrian on this team. He may have been a physical great, but he's not exactly leadership material. If anything, he's a distraction, just like Moss was a distraction. Sure, there's a possibility of his best, but it just isn't a high probability. The only factor that you can take to the bank with Peterson is his ego at this stage of his career. Leave that poison for some other team to swallow.

If I had a time machine, figuring out how to draft Randy Moss instead of 5' 5" Terry Fair would be high on my things to do list.

That's cool.
Maybe get that Stafford extension done now?

Free agent G/C Tim Lelito is visiting the Lions on Wednesday.

A 13-game starter at left guard in 2015, Lelito was sent back to the bench last season, making just seven spot starts. He has position versatility, as Lelito played left guard, right tackle, and center last year. In 2015, Lelito was Pro Football Focus' No. 7-ranked run-blocking guard out of 82 qualifiers.

Depending on how much we pay him..... Never hurts to have more competition on the o-line. That Swanson concussion putting him out over a month is concerning.

That Stafford extension could free up space if needed. Hope they don't really do it that way though, no more kicking can hopefully.

Be nice to see a under lying story here. Pickup another interior guy and trade LT for anything.

I think I read somewhere that Quinn is paying these free agents most up front. No more Suh debacles.

I'd take a 7th rounder for Tomlinson.

A very Patriots like addition if it happens.

Yup, Patriots style.

Yup, Patriots style.

Not just Pats style, smart GM style. He ain't the only guy doing that homer.

That kind of talk will get your background checked, mister.

I live in fear that someone will find out about the 20 hours of community service I got when I was 13
