The Swansong Thread 2015/16 season

[Old Lion]

This is for all those players who wont be back next year. I will start with the obvious ones.

Rasheen Mathis is the most obvious. He blew plain and simple and was put on season ending IR without a season ending injury.

This week it is official. James Ihedigbo is just not very good anymore. We were lucky enough to get his best years coming into the season, but he probably will not even be asked to serve the last year of his contract.

Add Stephen Tulloch to the list as well. Still cant cover and gets juked very easily now in the run game.

These 3 numbnutz are just too old and slow and 1 dimensional. 4 of 5 big runs from Gurly came when either Tully or IDiggs (2 each) was standing right in front of him in the hole and they could not make the play. Didnt even slow him down.

Feel free to add more to the list.

They can let Ngata go. More comp picks baby!!

 

[Howie115]

Waddle and Swanson.

They'll need Reiff for depth, but I really wish they could move him somewhere other than LT.

love your trolling but uuuhhhmmmmmmm NO. No comp picks coming for that dude. I will ride the bench that we'll be signing FA's that will void anything Ngata would bring.

GANDY ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS. DID YA MISS THAT CLASS ? If so, please enroll immediately and attendance will be in Smitty's files. just sayin'

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Yukon Cornelius Lucas, Don Juan Carey, Joke Bell, Pettigrew (not FA's right now but should be by or before March)

Don't bring back Waddle, Jason Jones, Tahir Whitehead, Travis Lewis, Dan Orlovsky, Lance Moore, Corey Fuller, Darryl Tapp, Tim Wright....... All of these players are FA's at end of season...

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Bring back Manny Ramirez

That career game of Bells yesterday had better save him a roster spot next year.

He Blowssssssssss!

Agree with all of the above with the exception of Jason Jones. I wouldn't mind seeing him coming back. The rest -- buh bye.

Even without any comp picks

Waddle and Swanson.

Swanson could still play at guard. He was decent at it.

As far as Waddle goes

Uhhhhhh........

I think Whitehead stays as depth and maybe Fuller because of special teams. I would not mind letting the rest go.

I thought this when he was drafted. a OG............. those extra periods are fer a reazon

I see your point, call your point.... screw it, I fold'em.

He does absolutely nuthin' fer me. wouldn't miss him one bit.

Taylor has flashed this year. I'm not saying Taylor is anything more than a rotational guy either at this point but I think they could find another DE to compliment him.

 

[dengel6]

A lot of "meat" getting cut here. Can or will the Lions be able to draft/free agent any of these positions? Maybe.
First, Caldwell and his staff must go.

Thanks for flyin' Total Bastard Airlines!

Could be a mercy kill for his career.

Another team might realize he isn't a fucking lineman!

He will be gone too. Certainly not worth over 3.5 mil.
