Lions getting no love for choosing depth over star talent.

Lions players are not happy about their WRs getting snubbed.
Lions players aren’t taking the disrespect lightly.
Remember from earlier in the week when Bucky Brooks of NFL.com failed to include the Detroit Lions in his top five wide receiver groups in the NFL? Well, Lions players caught wind of the list and they are not happy:

Golden Tate
✔
@ShowtimeTate
Who is doing this voting?

Darius Slay
✔
@_bigplayslay23
Sooo @MarvinJonesJr & @ShowtimeTate not too 5 duo����* both over 1000 yards...... No love.... #OnePride

Detroit Lions
✔
@Lions
You're forgetting the only team that had two 1,000-yard WRs last year.

Detroit Lions Breakdown Podcast Episode #65: Feel the Nostalgia. 56 minutes.

Summer has finally kicked off and that means several weeks of not much on the Lions front leading up to the start of training camp. Erik and Joe persevere through the desert of news to discuss many things still in the air as the season approaches.

Stunningly, no player movement this week.

Jimmy Raye III has been hired as a new Senior Personnel Executive for the team.

Figures of guaranteed money for the UDFAs have been released.

A deep mailbag is rummaged through, a lot of questions revolving around the front 7 are discussed.

A Curse Watch has been called for and will be monitored closely.

Finally, a wrap up on our comparison of the 1995 Lions and this 2018 bunch.

A special thanks to 5-star reviewers Dan Page, Psy man, Matt Stafford Side-Sling, Restore da Roar and J.Goldsmith. Also, thanks for the kind mention from the Detroit Lions Podcast.
