Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Detroit Lions hand Matt Cassel a veteran minimum deal.
The veteran quarterback won?t even cost the Lions $1 million in cap space.
The numbers on the Detroit Lions? signing of Matt Cassel are out, and they are extremely low, as expected. As first reported by Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, the Lions signed the veteran quarterback to a veteran minimum deal, which comes with a mere cap hit of $720,000 and $350,000 of dead money, if cut. Full details:
Matt Cassel's deal has some guarantees attached to it, but not enough to suggest door is closed on Rudock.
Cassel got one year, vet minimum, $260K guaranteed + 90K signing bonus. That's a vet min benefit cap hit of $720K ($350K dead money).
Rudock at $630K, all non-guaranteed.

Mentioned the other day I was expecting an MSB deal on Matt Cassel's one-year contract with the Lions. That's what he got with some guaranttes: $1.015M base salary, $90k SB. Total $350k guaranteed.

Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast Episode #56: 2018 Draft Preview ? Offense. 54 minutes.

The draft is only 15 days away and all is quiet on the Lions front. The team has hunkered down and is preparing for the draft?

The Lion began offseason workouts this week (Ziggy is the only Lion not in attendance).

Emmit Cleary has retired.

TJ Jones has signed his RFA tender.

Joe learns about The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Trophy and has his mind blown.

Erik and Joe take a look at mock drafts by Mel Kiper and the combo of Josh Norris and Evan Silva and Erik hates both drafts.

The QIB of all draftable players is investigated for all positions on offense.

A breakdown of the QIB system can be found here.

The mailbag is sifted through for only offense related questions.

Thanks to Saint Stafford and StevieO for their 5-star reviews!
