Detroit Lions in 'ideal' cap situation for extension talks with DeAndre Levy, Haloti Ngata, others | MLive.com

Suck it haters!

Well played sir. Well played indeed.

 

[broncosmitty]

No reason to extend Ngata.

So what's the hold up? They were in an ideal cap position to sign a few good FAs, and that didn't happen.

Guys have to want to play here to sign. They read all the same shit about Mayhew as we do. What's the incentive?

 

[Old Lion]

Austin and Caldwell being a million times better than the previous coaching staff and a team that is coming off an 11-5 season.

Gtfoh. We aint the Raiders. Just because Suh left, doesnt mean players wont want to play in Detroit. Tate pic me them over Seattle didn't he?

So what's the hold up? Mayhew was just bragging about how he hasn't even begun to try and extend Levy. Why? Maybe Levy wants to keep his options open?

Neither won the North, or a playoff game. Million times better?

Didn't the Ravens just trade him because he wouldn't take a pay cut? So what's changed? He's gonna take a massive discount to wear Bubbles on his helmet?

Dude will be gone next year.

I can think of one if it involves young talent.

Id rather see him play, then decide. They can always decide to tag him if need be. Without the. Risk of long term money out there.

Fill me in man.

Im still at none when it comes to a high priced 30something vet.

If they're gonna be forced to tag anyone, my money is on Levy. 100% guessing but it sure looks like Levy is in no hurry to extend his stay in Detroit. Maybe Mayhew will just let him walk without a fight too.

It's just my opinion... if plans are to bring in young talent, he would be a great mentor. The Lions can afford it without Suh on the pay roll.

Looks to me like they have no intention of going DT in the draft. They were convinced Suh would be back. Ngata became plan B.

Compensatory pic!!! 3rd rounder please.... Back to back seasons

Austin maybe..... Not so sure about the baby mustache yet.

Ngata and Walker may be just a one year fix (per se).

Agree. Would be nice if Walker is a gem but I'm not counting on it.

Imagine what the Lions could have gotten had Mayhew pursued those tampering charges by both Miami and Baltimore.

Walker did say in an interview that's he's looking forward to picking Ngata brain to become a better player.
