What are your assessments/opinions as to what the new regime should do regarding roster rebuild with players cut/new signings ?
I would also like to trade Golladay
It is tough, I think he is a beast, but injury-prone and already 27. I would rather get the absolute best value for him that we can now. I would be thrilled with a 2nd.I would to on a non-exclusive rights franchise tag. His agents have the right to negotiate with any team on a contract with the Lions having the right to match said contract offer or come up with a trade in draft picks this year.
I'd rather receive a 2nd round pick this year or at worst a 3rd round than to have to wait and see if comp picks come around for next year (depends on who they sign in the new league year.
I don't know that I would like to go after any big money FA, let's see if we can get some good comp picks for the exiting players. I am not sure which outside of Marvin Jones could actually get us a pick though.
I have Ragland as a resign as we need so many LB's, keeping the closest thing we have to replacement level(outside of Collins) might be important for a year or 2.

Based on comments by the new coach, I would not be shocked if Davis was back. Seems to think he has been failed by the Lions, not that he is a failure.I can agree with this even though I'm not a huge fan of his. Hopefully he comes cheap (doesn't count against any possible comp pick as he's our FA) and could be viewed as a mentor for any LB drafted this year.
I think 2019 is the only year of 4 he has played the entire season. Last year is the only one he missed significant time though.Injury-prone ? He had the rookie quad/hamstring issue (5 games missed) but I don't recall any other significant injury until this year. The hip injury scares me.
Franchise tagging him could be a huge risk but Golladay had that injury prior to the trade deadline last year and the NYG were said to have been interested in trading for him. The Colts and Jets and Jags could all be in possible need of him. idk
gotcha. okay.I think 2019 is the only year of 4 he has played the entire season. Last year is the only one he missed significant time though.

Williams, Trufant, Shelton, and Jones would need to show a lot of improvement before they will sign anything that might generate a pick. However, if the Lions are not going to add any big FA, then cutting those players for the upfront savings might not be worth it. Might as well see which of these guys can recover their value with decent coaching.@Mebert
What I don't want to see, hypothetically, is for GM Holmes to cut any player currently signed for 2021 season or beyond prior to the new league year March 17 4:00 pm E.S.T. (i.e. J. Coleman, N. Williams, Trufant, C. Jones etc) because if he does do that then those players, if signed by another team, do Not count towards possible 2022 comp pick additions. Under this situation R. Okwara and Marvin and Golladay could possibly reap some type of comp picks.
It is why I stated lay low on FA signings. I believe after the 1st or 2nd week of July any FA signed doesn't count against comp picks (have to verify that too).
