Schefter just reported on Twitter that the Chargers released Jared Gaither. The Lions better kick the tires on this guy.

that's odd....chargers have really bad line troubles and gaither was the only one that played well for them. He actually played really well for them. Maybe hes out of shape again....

Jared Gaither - T - Free Agent Chargers released LT Jared Gaither.
Signed to a four-year, $24.6M contract a year ago, Gaither essentially quit on the Chargers. "Big Lazy" appeared in just four games, milking back and groin injuries that the medical staff never deemed serious before landing on injured reserve. The Chargers are so down on Gaither that they're willing to take a $6M cap hit this season. The 6'9/340 behemoth immediately becomes the the best talent available on the left tackle market, but that's only if he wants to play. Meanwhile, the Chargers currently have King Dunlap penciled in on Philip Rivers' blind side, making Oklahoma LT Lane Johnson a strong possibility at No. 11 overall in April's draft.

Maybe chargers will be more interested in trading up to get a better LT if available at #5?

Do Lions take that better LT themselves or trade down....hmmmmmm....

i still think buffalo would jump to 5 if Geno is on the board.

Lions couldn't control a temperaMENTAL 5' 11" 174kb wideout, yet they would be able to motivate a lazy, 6' 9" 370 lb LT?

Lions coaching players who have extreme mental issues one way or the other and who have "difficulties" dealing with and taking orders from those in authority over them, really doesn't seem to be their forte, IMO.
