Delmas' deal pretty cap friendly

Looks like it's only a modest cap hit this year, and if he's cut before next season it's only a $500k cap hit.

If he's on the roster, it could be $5M, but this year is not so bad at $1.75M.

Is that a Titus Owens jersey?

Nope Digs.. it's my personal memorial to the 2008 season.

Owens-16... said outloud... 0 and 16

Gotta say that Mayhew and Lewand have been brilliant this offseason. Just need a strong draft this year.

Color me impressed and surprised.

He's always been decent with free agents. Its the draft where he suffers.

I have always wondered what color is 'impressed'.

'Surprise' is easy....rainbow multi colors.

Ahhhhh......weed.

not just a strong draft...but a draft that actually plays. We always grade out as a top draft....then they sit around on the bench or play fullback or something.

This is actually my favourite Mayhew related joke, like a Seinfeld observation, it's funny because it's true.

"Whaat's the deel with first round tackles?"

It just beats out the production hes drafted out of round 2. Delmas, titus, broyles, leshoure and Best (traded up to rd 1 but used our 2nd rd pick). Gotta be the worst round 2 drafter in the history of mankind. Now THATS a joke!

Raiola, Kalimba Edwards, Boss Bailey, Teddy Lehman, Shawn Cody, Daniel Bullocks, Drew Stanton, Jordon Dizon.




Really? 1 "hit" (who we don't even like) out of 8 drafts.

titus was only bad pick..and even then it wasn't talent that was the issue..leshoure as much as people give him shit just ran for like 10 td's in his only season...best was a very good talent..delmas is good when healthy...really it's just injuries..not the actual play of the players.....alot of it isn't talent...it's staying healthy with us..and staying focused..remember the year we made the playoffs we had a top 5 offense..and a top ten defensive line in sacks i believe...we just need to focus..and get all that offseason shit that happened last year..outta the way.

Eventually we have to stop using the injury excuse. Instead of "they were good picks at the time". Unless we get some years out of them, its a bad pick.

its not much of an excuse..some of them yes..they had injury backgrounds..but as far as i know delmas, and leshoure didn't..that and pretty much every football player gets injured at one time or another.its a physical game..sorta like stafford injuries...he didn't get injured EVER before he came to us..then barely played for most of his young career..it isn't an excuse its reality..with injuries..its luck more than anything.

I just want guys to preform. Regardless what the reason is. Are the Lions more injury prone then everyone else? Its just a tired excuse.

 

[wheels002]

wasnt IAK and Stanton 2nd rd picks for Millen. Granted Stanton is now the starter for Zona....I laugh every time I say that. You gotta feel for Fitz.
