maybe Decker as well...

They really like Edelman. I could see them going after Sanders, they need a field stretcher, and they went after him once. Although Decker gets open deep.

Allen seems like KVB, don't have a problem with a short term deal just avoid the dead money years.

 

[swami45]

I think Lions have zero shot at Allen. He has already said he wants to get paid or he will retire, he isn`t taking anything less than he is worth. I have read he wants 8-10M per year, lions certainly don`t have that, and if he budges at all it will be to sign with a legit contender.

Decker is a Jet 5yr 36.25 w 15 mil guar . He will be in culture shock going from Peyton to Geno lol.

Lmfao....that call was too easy, bro. Everyone knew where he was going after what Denver was doing in FA.

So is everyone happy with the Tate signing or did everyone want Decker? Personally I wanted Decker.

I was happy with the tate signing. But was surprised by how decker jumped at a 7 mil per 15 guarantee deal to join a shitty team. If I was to chose 1 of the 2 deals after they happened I think id go with decker on the outside for that money than tate on the inside at that money. Still happy we have tate though.

 

[kmd47]

Yeah I am for sure happy we signed Tate. He can play both inside and out. Still want us to draft a WR, and according to Rappaport, we are still interested in trading up to get Watkins. Would be sick CJ Watkins Tate for the next 5 years. And then you are set even if Calvin gets hurt. I don't know how happy I would be trading picks to draft another WR, but that would be lethal if old Staff could get them the ball that is hahah

Both came at a decent price. If I had to choose I'd go Tate, he was a very good in a run first offense, Decker was great but may be skewed by Peyton. As was already mentioned wait till he gets a load of Gino.

Ihedigbo with the Austin connection. Makes sense

 

[LKP]

Willie Young 3 year 9 million deal with Bears.

 

[lucke]

Lost Willie Young to the Bears 3 year deal 3mil/year

good deal for a former 7th rounder... too bad we couldn't resign him though, it leaves a much larger hole at DE now

 

[LKP]

Ansah, Jones and Taylor I'm fine with at DE. But Young did produce and is better in run D than people think.

We'll see if they get a vet or draft one now.

 

[wheels002]

Tate filled a huge need on offense. We still need one more WR though. I never want Durham on the field again.

I would have liked Willie Young back but the Bears gave him 3yrs and 9 mil and we werent going to give him more than 1 year deal. So we do need a DE now. Along with a S and a TE, C, FB, CB and a K. Granted we have the draft to go as well.

Ihedigbo says his plan is to sign with the Lions, but there are issues with his "representation". Sounds like he wants a different agent.

 

[Monster]

Had no idea he was a free agent. Could be huge and would give more flexibility in draft.

I have a feeling someone is going to drop and we will get something other than WR or CB. I could also see them trading the 1st and 2nd to move up and get Watkins.
