Lions re sign Slay

[Wamu]

It usually takes 8 years for a QB to blossom.

It takes a lot longer than that in Cleveland. And great avatar.

I wasn't buyin it, until Cooter came to town.

Cooter usually distracts a man from his work. I guess Cooter helps Staffy concentrate.

True story, when you Google "Matt Stafford buff", Google wonders if you meant something else:

Let me google that for you

That's hilarious.

Scrolled down a bit and came across this:
Seahawks star hates Lions’ Stafford because of JFK assassination

Michael Bennett is a weird dude.

At least he's not chasing Pokemon around Detroit like Ebronie.

Lions extend CB Darius Slay (4 years, $50.2M; $23M guaranteed): A Grade
I can't remember whom I was having the conversation with two years ago, but we were both surprised that Darius Slay struggled so much as a rookie. Slay made improvements the following year, and he continued to upgrade his game in 2015. In fact, it could be argued that he - not Josh Norman or Richard Sherman - was the best cornerback in the NFL this past season.

I know this is a lot of money for a non-quarterback, and I usually don't grade signings like this so highly, but if Slay continues to evolve, this could seem like a steal a couple of years down the road. Slay will be earning just as much as Janoris Jenkins is from the Giants, and Slay is unquestionably better. He'll be getting $2.5 million per year less than Norman, and as I said, it could be argued that Slay was better despite Norman getting all the acclaim from the talking heads on ESPN.

I think this deserves an "A." Again, I'm not used to giving out such a grade for a signing like this, but Slay could definitely prove to be better than his impending $12.5 million per season salary.

We can always shit can him in 4 years when he is 29 and asks for 20 mil a year.

Might turn out to be one of Mayhews better mistakes. He struggled as a rookie being a man press style kid in a zone scheme. That huge jump his second year was attributed to being in Austin's scheme and not zone.
