It's the best free agency the Lions have had this millennium. Didn't overpay a bunch of over the hill crap.
"The Florida Times Union expects the Jaguars to decline LT Luke Joeckel's fifth-year option because it will make him easier to trade.
Joeckel became expendable when the Jaguars signed Kelvin Beachum to a one-year deal with a four-year option. Joeckel's trade value is at an all-time low, but the Jags will hope to get something for him before he inevitably leaves in free agency. If the Jags were to pick up Joeckel's option, there would be incentive not to play him as his 2017 salary would be fully guaranteed if he got hurt."- Rotoworld
Quinn make it happen
Yes! Conditional late round pick. Let him compete for the RT spot.
I haven't seen him play, but he has to be better than Ola or whoever our RT is at this point

Many say we overpayed for Marvin Jones. We paid a #2/3 receiver #1 money. And while he's not over the hill, he's injury prone. He missed the entire 2014 season with foot/ankle problems. If Mayhew had signed him to that contract, there would have been an outcry.
I like Jones, though, and am glad we signed him. But just saying.

Geoff Schwartz - G - Lions
Lions signed RT Geoff Schwartz, formerly of the Giants, to a one-year contract.
Schwartz can play both guard and tackle, but figures to step in at right tackle in Detroit if he can beat out Michael Ola. Last year's first-rounder Laken Tomlinson is locked in at left guard, while 2013 third-rounder Larry Warford mans right guard. Schwartz, 30 in July, needs to prove he can stay healthy after missing 19 starts in New York. If so, he's a very solid signing.

Bringing in Ridley for a look today
RIP Zach Zenner after signing Ridley.

I will be happy to see the competition between them. That, and not seeing Joique Bell. Really didn't notice Burton being used much with JBC. So when knows what they carry this year?
Only if the injury was career ending. Ridley's on a one year prove it. The competition is useful.
