Not Avril.I thought we could go with any non Lion for the Lions board.
Not bad, only 10 tackles and 3 sacks behind Fletcher Cox and a million miles behind JJ Watt.
Also, You left out this part of the quote which was the sentence before yours:
“The contract Miami handed him means no matter how well he plays, he is never likely to be anything but “overpaid” and squeezing their salary cap."
Meh. "Overpaid" is just a buzz word sports writers use to rile fans up and get clicks. Who ISN'T overpaid on the Lions???
Calvin was overpaid.
Levy is overpaid.
Stafford is overpaid.
Ansah will soon be overpaid.
Etc...
They're all overpaid if you want to get technical
Vernon Olliver got 56 million guaranteed. That's overpaid. Compared to that, Miami got a steal paying Suh 60.
Well, his peers certainly don't see it this way. Just a couple Lions fans.Suh on the other hand has done jack shit. 2 decent years out of 6 and 1 average one. You don't pay someone 20 mil to occupy blockers and only make big plays in blowout games.
ohhhhhhh.... Yards in a season.Agree about Oliver. He is nothing special. Poor mans Cliff Avril.
Calvin was not overpaid until he got hurt. The last 2 years he could not perform like he did pre injury. No way to predict that. He set the record for yards in a season and by quite a lot. Ziggy also will deserve close to 20 mil if he puts up another 15+ sacks this year along with his plus run defense.

Roses are RedIs that a Slay tat?
PS: This time next year Slay will be waaaaaaaaay overpaid.
