IF TW lll contract truly ends up being what is perceived to have happened in the above, then that's a good deal.

Exceptionally clean footwork and very easy flip his hips on the comeback.

 

[Mebert]

Wow, we got more for Hockenson than Raiders got for Waller.

Will Harris back on a 1 year deal.

Will Harris back on a 1 year deal.

At worst, he's depth value for that big nickel/slot.
I'm fine with this move and mostly anticipated it happening.

Cominsky back

Waller has played all of 20 games in the last two seasons and just signed that new contract prior to last season. If he's healthy he's a great "F" TE that offers nothing as an inline blocking option.

Cominsky back

Confirmed?

I'm still hoping they bring back DeShon Elliot at least for the sake of @broncosmitty
I'm not sure Smitty would survive a year of Lion's football without Elliot.

We’ve officially resigned Anzalone, Buggs and Cominsky now. So atleast we won’t have to worry about the defense getting much better this year.

Solved that problem.

Well damn. This is also one of the four CB that POD had propped up as possibilities.

Report: Lions to sign CB Emmanuel Moseley to a 1-year contract

The Detroit Lions are adding more competition to the outside cornerback position in free agency.

www.prideofdetroit.com

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions are signing cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (formerly of the San Francisco 49ers) to a one-year contract worth $6 million.

Moseley is an outside corner who went undrafted in 2018 and signed with the 49ers, and worked his way into a part-time starting role in 2019. By 2021, he was starting a full-time starter, and in 2022, Moseley was off to a solid start to the year before an ACL injury in Week 5 cost him the remainder of the season.

Just 26 years old, reports on Moseley’s ability to recover from his ACL injury in order to be ready to play in time for the season seem promising. While he has only been contributing in the NFL for four seasons, his developmental growth arrow is pointing up.

BB_72: Seems as though @Mebert was stating that Holmes would have a tough time drafting seriously injured rookie he instead will sign an UFA coming off an ACL tear last October. YAY LIONS.

Why sign these fuckers?

The defense was garbage and they really need to keep it intact? Makes no sense.

Where's the I wuv you emoji when I need it most?

Now I comprehend the TW lll re-structure. It was not only to pay for the re-signing of Buggs and AA, at least at first glance, but now it appears it was made to sign an ACL injured CB - Emmanuel Moseley. Okay.

BH should've simply spent the money to bring in Dean AND Bradberry and let's not leave Bobby Wagner out of that conversation - if any of them would've been willing to sign with the LIONS.

They got much better 2nd half.

In Niners Nation’s free agent profile of Moseley, they suggested the team wanted him to return and believed he was due for a substantial raise.

“The bottom line, Moseley’s play has warranted a raise,” Jason Aponte of Niners Nation wrote. “A substantial one, in my opinion. Moseley will be 27 at the start of the 2023 season. Mooney Ward is a prime example of someone who went undrafted and played himself into a payday.”

Spotrac’s Market value projection system agreed with Aponte’s assessment, suggesting Moseley could earn a new contract that averaged $16.6 million a year for four years. Now, the ACL likely played into the contract the Lions reportedly struck with Moseley, but it speaks to his potential value as a player.

In an interesting twist, Moseley and Cameron Sutton—who reportedly signed a deal with the Lions on Monday—were college teammates at Tennessee.
