Official Lions 2018 Off Season Info Thread

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I used to love the Lions. Even went to training camp once and tried to get Billy Sims' autograph. He turned me down and started snorting a line of coke the length of a football field.

Fuck the Lions and MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS!

Maybe Stafford is getting another extension?

Stafford? Now I AM getting an extension!!!

You saved me from further reading of the 2014 season thread.


Lol @ the people who were upset at my dislike of Abdullah.

 

[Old Lion]

He would be a nice fit. This D-line desperately needs a veteran leader. I would still be drafting a DT as well.

I refuse to apologize for it! AA is just misunderstood

Yahoo Sports' Jordan Schultz reports free agent Ndamukong Suh is "intrigued" by the idea of playing on the Rams' defensive line alongside Aaron Donald and Michael Brockers.

ESPN Rams reporter Alden Gonzalez adds that Suh remains in Los Angeles Tuesday evening and is scheduled to have dinner with the Rams tonight. He's expected to visit the Raiders on Wednesday if he makes it out of L.A. without a contract. Schultz also reports Suh "likes" Saints DE Cameron Jordan and wouldn't be opposed to playing alongside him in New Orleans. If Suh wants to win, it would seem the Rams and Saints are his top two suitors to this point.

ESPN's Field Yates reports free agent DTs Johnathan Hankins and Alan Branch will visit the Lions.

Yates adds that fellow free agent DT Sylvester Williams is also on Detroit's radar. Hankins has visited the Redskins in recent days after being cut by the Colts over the weekend. He'd be a great get for whoever lands him.

Lions signed TE Luke Willson, formerly of the Seahawks, to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.

After losing Darren Fells as a free agent and then cutting Eric Ebron to see him sign with the Colts, Willson is now penciled in as the Lions' No. 1 tight end. The 28-year-old caught 89 balls for 1,129 yards and 11 touchdowns in his five seasons with Seattle. There should be more opportunity in Detroit.

You know, we could've signed Wilson without cutting the TE we already threw passes to.


Martha will leave more in her trust fund this way though. Have to keep what's important in mind.

I'm okay with PokeEbron leaving. Stafford hated him. He can go chase imaginary monsters in Indy.

I mentioned Branch as a possibility a few weeks ago. His performance dropped of a bit this year though IMO. He is getting pretty old.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team is working on a deal with Ricky Jean Francois.

Lions in the market for defensive tackle help

The Lions must be scouting my 4-4-3 defense on madden w all these big DTs coming in for visits. Sign them all!

Wilson < Ebron


It saved money and hurt the potential of the offense imo.

Still had better draft a TE.

Not interested in RJF. Would be something if both Branch and Hankins came back to Michigan.

If we got Hankins in and got Branch to replace Ngata we would be in decent shape all of a sudden.
