If he can add depth, better depth than we had last season - all for it.

Lions sign CB Cassius Vaughn to a 1 year deal. Started 15 games the last 2 years for Indy

What a waste of cap space. Money could have been used to sign Peppers

actually ur right tate is going to be right around 3 mil cap hit. peppers was 3.5. tate got more guaranteed money. Vaughn is the difference between tate and peppers. nice job mayhew!

Vaughn will not count 400k million extra on the cap. Vet min deal, 100k at most. And we didn't do Peppers because of year 2. Get it through your thick skill.

Good depth

I like his experience but I like Green and Greenwoods ceilings better. Green has been solid and Greenwood did well his 2 games. Doesn't hurt to have competition though.

Vet depth to push the young guys.

does this mean detroit doesn't resign Mathis?

That was looking more and more unlikely anyway. But no, it doesn't mean they won't, it just means it's even more improbable.

They had Bartell and Mathis in TC last year. We could still sign Mathis easily

just keep adding more crap to the pile....eventually maybe the HUGE pile of crap will create a diamond.

Mathis was good last year. But of course with your terrible assessments you couldn't see that.

 

[inkfreq]

We "could" still sing Mathis, but every day seems less likely.

Today, for example:

http://nflspinzone.com/2014/04/08/redskins-atlanta-falcons-detroit-lions-host-josh-wilson/

We have Josh Wilson in for a visit. He knows Teryl Austin, excelled for him in Baltimore, and is a fit.

How many "fits" are we going to "fit in" before it becomes obvious Mathis isn't coming back?

yup bottom of the heap as far as pass defense goes. Dline is awesome.....secondary is awesome.....for some reason we were bottom 5 in pass defense the entire year.....weird how that works. Or just maybe they weren't awesome....hate to jump to conclusions like that lol.

We weren't bottom in pass defense. And it wasn't Mathis getting beat.

[inkfreq]

Not me... not sure how they plan to do it yet, but these guys seem locked in on Watkins if they can pull it off...
