Looks like we are getting a FA wideout.

fuck notre dame...chickens.

I like the fit, though. Question is the price. I also think that signing him makes a Sammy Watkins trade up or a WR at #10 (unless sammy slips) is a no-go.

Hey Cheeno, you mind if i just make this the Detroit Lions FA Thread???

I've been hoping for that to happen in one of these. We've got dozens of posts for individual players, some of which are all but guaranteed not to be a Detroit Lion in 2014.

I don't know, man. He had pretty good numbers considering Seattle isn't a passing team. I think they were dead last in pass attempts last year. He makes big plays when given the chance.

Broyles is on life support with this team. I'll be shocked if he catches another pass for us.

Lions resign Ogletree to 1 year deal.

"WR Kevin Ogletree re-signed with the Lions on a 1-year deal" -Adam Schefter

No specifics yet. As long as it's a cheap deal, I like the signing. I don't think he ever got comfortable last year after signing with the Lions mid-season. Should be a solid #4 WR who can step in if someone gets injured.

Tate struggled in the slot correct? Not sure I see the fit, don't like him as an outside #2 WR.

I feel the same about Pettigrew, whether he signs with the Lions or not

 

[michiganalex]

i'd take tate. as long as he doesn't get drunk and break into a donut shop again. lmao

 

[michiganalex]

if they get tate they will definitely go CB in the first round

If Gilbert is gone at 10, the Lions better not go CB in the first unless they trade back.

or safety. I think it just depends on how they rate pryor and HHCD. I'd love to see a trade down and take a safety instead of the CBs, but if we stay at 10, I think Gilbert has to be the guy unless Watkins slips to us somehow.

completely agree. I like Dennard, but not at 10.

 

[michiganalex]

i'd wanna trade down regardless to be honest

 

[Monster]

wow, NFLN just went to some woman named, "Aditi Kinkhabwala". Have I not watched this network in a long time or what? what a name. wow.

I don't mind Tate and it's not like he'd be our number two. He could take over for Nate. I look at it as he pushes someone else down on the depth chart.

Agreed. A WR at #10 or #45 is still very much in play if Tate becomes a Lion.
