Lions 2023 Free Agency

[Zwalt]

Elliot to the Dolphins. We could have had him back for 2 mil.

So 2 mil in dead cap space, I’m good.

we will spend more than that on a lesser player. we will also continue to have guys like Brady Breeze on the roster.

I agree.

My guess is Elliot wanted to go only to Miami. He is young and was good in 2022 so I don't see why we (or another team) wouldn't offer more than $1.77M for that kind of steady production.

 

[Dutchis59]

I dont think he really fits with this group. OK for depth I guess but we need a real Guard.

Fits perfectly plays both guard and center. Great depth pick up for the price

Plays neither position as well as Brown at this point. And Brown signed for half what Glasgow got.

He played on maybe the worst secondary in the league and was benched for under performing. He won't be difficult to replace.

Actually I’m going with, my bad! I saw Elliot and heard earlier that Zeke Elliot was released by Dallas… I thought that was who signed with Miami…. Oops!

He’s also a pussy.

Patriots are taking our special teams. CJ Moore and Chris Board both signed.

Lions signed Gardner-Johnson. 1 year, butnthatxis fucking awesome

 

[Rob]

Sutton, Moseley, Okudah, Jacobs, CJGJ, Walker, Joseph, ...

Lions are stacked now at DB. Can Glenn make them win together?

We could almost play a 46 defense.

We renegotiated Romeo's contract as expected. Otherwise we would have spent 8 mil on an oft injured safety to replace our 2 mil oft injured safety.

You have put in so much work trying to justify negativity this off season. As the Lions keep crushing it your reaches have been getting comical.

Not negative at all. Lions have done very well for the most part. Either CJGJ or Elliot are good signings for their prices. I am just stating that we are spending more money on the position because we had it. Without the restructure it would have been very tight.

Board, yes. Moore re-signed here.

Looks like Vaitai is not going anywhere. Lions did not restructure his contract, it was a complete renegotiation. Cap hit drops from 12 to 5, 3.9 hit next year but he will be a FA.

Nice work but you know Hellapudgy Fatguy will have 1 good season and get another multi year contract where he will be injured until the last year again.

 

[Old Lion]

Amani and Bryant gone as expected.
