report is 140 next year and 150! the year after that.
That probably means teams will overpay players. I hope it doesn't go too high..What's the point of a cap if it's so high..? Might just make it like baseball.

You risk the chance of losing Suh if you do that. However, that might be what's necessary to get this team cap friendly for the future.
Personally, with a little extra cap room....if they do extend Suh.....I'd like to see them make a run at an experienced #2 WR. No more guessing games in the draft. Decker or Maclin. Get a promising slot guy in the middle rounds and a DE and CB or S at the top of the draft.
maclin resigned with philly
Hmmmm.....missed that.
Decker if he doesn't ask too much. We'll have the space with the higher cap and a Suh extension. But other than him, I would explore a trade for an established veteran. I would have concerns drafting any WR not named Watkins this year. Such a big risk to take at 10..... And WAY too many misses in recent memory.
i see a few options in the second.
The pessimist in me thinks this is all for Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder.
No doubt there are WR coming out this year that will be great. There will be a number of busts too.....
I'd like to see the Lions take a look at an established player at the position. Stop the merry go round of WR that are supposed to be the next John Taylor and bring in a player with a known skill set.
Not pulling the trigger on the Josh Gordon for a 2nd rounder was a huge mistake....let's not back it up with drafting another.
Besides, if we take a WR in the 2nd, Hughes might blow up the internet with his current 2nd rounder/Titus/Broyles comparisons that would surely follow.
Ive been clamoring for a WR to be picked in rds 2-4 this year...maybe 2 of them. The change in heart is based on the need. Picking broyles in rd 2 when he was never going to be more than the 4th wr on the field was dumb. This year is we pick a WR he should be the 2nd WR on the field. Only mayhew could pick an early round WR every year and still need 3 WRs lmao....what a loser.
titus was a bad pick because they thought his small frame would translate to a down the field threat opposite CJ in this offense (the same reservations I have about marquise lee)....brilliant.

With the 10th pick in the draft, Detroit selects Marquise Lee.
Titus was productive in 2011. It's not like we got nothing and his talent never showed up on the field. Then went insane and had some knee troubles too in 2012.

I will OFFICIALLY change my name to Hughes Jr. if that happens.
That would be a MASSIVE mistake.
I don't want Lee but that would be funny and almost worth it, Jr.
That doesn't make you a pessimist.....it makes you a conspiracy theorist.
And if that were the case, what would a "Matt Millen is still our GM" 2014 salary cap look like.......$210M??....$220M??
Won't happen...but I'd do it.
Free Agency will determine where the Lions go in the draft. If we already have signed a legit #2, I would like the Lee pick.......if it were the 2nd round.

i don't see any very good and affordable #2 options in FA. Best guy for the money is probably emmanuel sanders but not so sure hes a true #2. Decker will be overpriced and I don't think he would produce much here. Nicks or Britt you could take a flier on but they haven't produced in years.....change of scenery might help them....or they could just not be very good. How much faith do you put in guys that cried about being unhappy where they were at and both let their production regress because of it?
How good does that potential josh gordon trade look now??? Would you rather want mike evans or josh Gordon.....for me....its not even close.
