CJ to retire ?

[Gulf of Brazil]

That's fine. While I'm sure he wishes he'd won more, if winning was REALLY the motivating factor here, and not health, he would have left years ago.

you know I'm fucking with you, right ?

c'mon that's non-sense speak when stating he would have left years ago if winning was REALLY the motivating factor. not even you believe that post.

Sure I do. Had we not gone 10-6 the year before he re signed he was leaving. 100%

Oh hell no that's not a joke or messing with you.

CJ retires and either this year but more than likely next year comes back and plays for Hoodie or even Carolina.

Not happening. You're dreaming.

Smitty the camp I'm in regarding Calvin is, he said he would do what it would take. Suh signed elsewhere, so what would restructuring his contract do?

If the Lions had signed Suh and then Calvin refused to restructure his deal. I would be pointing fingers too.

IMO, Suh was going to whatever team offered him the most money. Plain and simple. So unless Detroit wanted to give Suh a dollar more than Miami offered, restructuring made no sense for CJ

I'm in the we should have cut him last year camp.

We don't have Suh because CJ cost too much. And we won't have CJ because he's old, and costs too much. (He's getting cut. Retirement just sounds better. He's not done.)

What a waste. And all for a guy who can't hang on to the ball when it matters.

FIFY

What does Calvin's contract have to do with Suh wanting to be the highest paid defensive player in the NFL?
If Suh wanted to be in Detroit, he would still be here. Not vastly overpaying him was one of the only smart things our front office did, IMO.

@Rollingthndr called it pretty clear months ago.


CJ ft the final touches on being Lionized this year.

Why are you obsessed with Suh still?


This is CJ being gone. Suh already is gone. One future HOFer per season.

Lucky for us, we're out of future HOFers.

 

[broncosmitty]

Hanson being the other future HOFer. Three years running....

But inthink its safe to acknowledge, Hanson is never getting in Canton. He's a kicker.

wait........ what
numba nine threw for 400 yards in ONE GAME this year. you were too quick.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Smitty. You just said we don't have Suh because Calvin cost too much. When, in reality, we don't have Suh because Suh wanted to be the highest paid defensive player instead of the highest paid defensive tackle.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

I'm not obsessed with Suh but people talk about him like he turned around the franchise. Detroit's defense looked like Miami's defense this year until Austin came in. We won morning with him and twice had winning records in 5 years.

He is a great player, but to me, if he wanted to be in Detroit, he'd be here still

Oh. I hadn't heard that before.

I'll keep that in mind

Trying to find the silver lining in this. We saved a few bucks? I got nothing.

Who the fuck WANTS to be in Detroit? If you're the Detroit Lions you better over pay for the leagues best players when you have that rare opportunity. Or you end up with a half decade full of top 3 picks all over again.

Except now drafting top 3 does not break the bank until year 6. Dont need to overpay guys out of the gate anymore.
