"Don't overpay Suh!" Do you watch football?

[RobBase]

2013 you say? So I'm sure that's still relevant nearly two years later.

In all seriousness, though, you can't expect people to be checking the dates on the material they're struggling to provide to support their case- that's pretty complex stuff. Maybe there's a community college course out there that could help with citing valid information?

Just showing you that Mayhew is involved in the contracts. No need to be your usual mean and nasty self this close to Christmas.

 

[RobBase]

I'm not arguing over whether or not Mayhew is involved in contract negotiations nor whether he said that he wouldn't rule out tagging Suh. Would you really have expected him to say anything differently?

Why do you think I'm talking to you? That was for TPaul who said Mayhew isn't involved in contracts.

 

[RobBase]

I have ask you to show us how it is that you think the Lions can tag Suh and be cap compliant because I (and I'm sure everyone else on here) would like to know. Please show us.

Because I just posted a quote from Mayhew saying the tag for Suh is an option.

 

[RobBase]

Quick show of hands, who thinks the tag is a reasonable option for Suh? Anyone? Anyone at all?


It'd be like $36.6 million next season, fyi, just so you guys know before voting.

$26.7 million to franchise tag next offseason. Approximately 5 million more than the 22 million he made this year.

The Lions can't free up an extra 5 million for this guy?

Not sure why that matters? I'm not in disagreement that Mayhew is involved in contracts and have made no statements to that effect. I wasn't involved in that conversation and don't care to be involved. I was asking you a question about the statements you have made on a different issue altogether. I thought that was what a message board was about, discussing the Lions football team and the thoughts of the posters on the board. Am I wrong?

I want to know how you feel the Lions can tag Suh and make it workable. I want Suh in a Lions uniform as much as you do, but don't see how that can happen if they can't reach an agreement on a new contract. You have said they can tag him and that there will be room. I want to learn how.

Read the board Dr.

In other words, it can't be explained with actual math and leaving a 53-player roster with 22 starters. Which it can't, even if the cap goes up $10MM next year, which is pretty optimistic.

If untrue, show a full cap structure next year with current players, Suh at $36MM cap hit, and a $10MM increase. It'll be a very unfunny joke.

Mayhew says the tag is an option. Costs 27 million to tag Suh. 5 more than he makes this year.

What do you guys want?

Dead money too, son.

Hurry up, I want to see if you can add.

I have. I was looking for more specifics than saying a cap increase, and cutting Tulloch, Bush, and Pettigrew will get it done????

I personally don't think that even comes close but because I want to keep Suh I am very interested in how you are saying that we can.

For the third time, because Mayhew said so.

 

[RobBase]

Mayhew admitted that he's not sure that the Lions can keep Suh from testing free agency next year — "I can't say that we will. I just feel confident that he's going to be playing for us next year," he said — and he wouldn't rule out using the franchise tag to keep Suh in Detroit.

Ndamukong Suh, Lions table contract negotiations

Confirm when read, please.

 

[Naughtymax]

That's what I thought - you can't make it work. Mayhew is running his mouth as a negotiating tactic at best.

We get that not everyone can count to 140.

 

[Naughtymax]

Nothing with cap details in article.

Confirm when pass third-grade math finals, please. We can wait a few years.

Typical nasty reply from you.

pot calling the kettle black. It was you during your first day back, princess. Love to dish it out, but can't take it, that's the basement dwelling butterball all right.

God Bless you this Christmas.

Now let's see if you can do a simple exercise to back up your words.

Enjoy being nasty.

For the third time, because Mayhew said so.

For the fourth time, HOW?

I have seen what Mayhew said, that isn't anything I have ever argued. I acknowledge that he has said that tagging Suh is an option. He certainly would not have said anything differently since it would have destroyed the Lions from a negotiating perspective.

Are you saying that your statements to the effect that we should tag Suh and that there will be cap room to do so is simply based on Mayhew's comments?
