Okung visiting Lions

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Okung would be awesome if he was healthy more often. I want them to go after Schraeder or Leon Hall.

 

[broncosmitty]

If Leon Hall were a receiver you might get your wish.

Or a special teams phenom.

 

[gandydancer]

If Okung falls through and he wants a guy who is often injured he can get Will Beatty to come in and compete for LT or RT.

 

[Stomp]

He's really making the rounds must not be getting the offers he was hoping for

 

[lionstop1]

He's getting a lot of offers, thats the problem. He's going to look at all of them before he makes a decision. Smart if you ask me. The more he visits, the more he may get offered.

Texans and Steelers are just bringing him as leverage to get Beachum to sign and to get Duane Brown to accept a pay cut imo

Supply and demand!!

anywhere but Det is just fine with me. price if cheap still wouldn't help his cause for me. 24 missed games in total. love his mechanics and technique but pass at this point.

Watch the Lions draft Jack Conklin !

Watch the Lions draft Jack Conklin !

I got a feeling he is definitely in play at #16. Especially if they are making offers to Okung. Play one year at RT and then move over to LT after Reiff hits free agency.

Market reportedly starting to dry up for former Seahawk Russell Okung

"Okung believes he should land a deal worth $11 million to $13 million annually."


maybe 6 million per, He has way to many holding/false start penalties over his career plus he has missed 25% of the games in his career

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

^^^^^^ walk on by

 

[Thruthefog]

I wonder what he's been offered. I'd give him 8.

 

[lionstop1]

Yep, 8 would be his base salary that I would offer but I would include those performance and playing time incentives that will have to be earned. I'd offer "up to" 11 that way.

No decisions yet but this is beautiful.



Veiled message that Pitt's the pick?

[DHoey]

I'd pay him 500k for every game he plays in.

Someone should ask him to name the left tackles for Pitt in those games.

 

[TBBishop]

For upwards of $12 mil, I'm glad we didn't get him. Certainly not worth than much on the trainer's table.

 

[Stomp]

Sounds like he is signing with Denver
