I would take all back besides Raiola. Moore doesn't matter either way in my mind.

Shit, Sims is only 31. He went bad fast.

I think part of it was losing Backus and the shit play of Raiola hurt him.
I thought he improved as the season went on..I would take him back at the right price. At least he stayed healthy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I wonder if Orvlosky wants to stay? Maybe he thinks he can start somewhere .. lol.

 

[grandy]

Oh that reminds me, remember when all of you bitched about the Dan-O signing and I said it didn't matter because he'd never see the field anyway?

Thank goodness. I wonder if the fans of Arizona bitched about the Drew Stanton signing..

 

[lucke]

i want Mathis back... if for no other reason to help groom a drafted CB and provide a wily vet's attitude to the younger guys.

 

[kdp1980]

Mathis exceeded my expectations this year. Stayed healthy, and didn't become a liability due to his age. No reason to not bring him back imo. Cheap and servicable. Solid depth, worst case scenario.

Please kick Cassius Vaughn to the curb.

#1 priority is to re-sign Suh. I don't care what it takes, he's the franchise players, best current Lion, future HOF and once in a generation type of talent. You don't lose that for nothing.

Yes, he's hands down the best current Lion. Passed our beloved Calvin this season. Re-sign him, make him happy and continue to build an elite defense around him for years to come.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well Caldwell agrees with you: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ls-keeping-suh-one-of-our-highest-priorities/

Lets see about Mayhew..I still think we can't afford him without fucking up the franchise for years but whatever. Not in the mood to give a DT 100+. Especially when we need so much more to win a SB.

Suh is good but risky and dirty. Fairley back is injury and hustle risk. No other free agent dt really jumps out at you. And a rookie will probably play like a rookie. Very few Donald's and rookie suhs

I hate suhs dirtiness but we need him and can make the big cap number work. Tulloch, bush and jones will just be gone. Those guys have been or can more easily be replaced

This...pay suh. Drop the dead weight to afford him. Bring tulloch back cheap so he can be a figurehead in the community.

Stafford becomes a cap savings in 2016, should dump him and get a cheap rookie QB. Frees up $11.5M in 2016 and $22M in 2017.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'd be all for Suh if we can get rid of Matt after the upcoming year..

This made me laugh for some reason.

You're an odd fella, Cheeno.
