If this means no Cassius Vaughn, I am good with it.

Idk about that. If Lawson is healthy, he's going to win the job, imo.

That would be pretty impressive from a guy who has 1 game of NFL experience.

I'll always root for little Bill to win the job!!

It would be nice to see a battle for that spot.

I think we'll see a really good battle for the nickle and dime spots.

Bullet Bill
Lawson
Wilson

and hopefully a drafted rookie or two to fight for those spots.

I also expect Lawson to win that spot. 1 game or not, I thought he looked good when he was in there. If the injury doesn't take away any explosiveness.....I'll say Lawson the nickle and Bill the dime. Wilson as the 5th CB.

All that changes if they draft a CB in the first 2 rounds.

I think bill is the broyles of the defense.....I think this signing is the nail in his coffin and hes on the outside looking in. Wilson to dime imo. Lawson should seal up nickel if hes healthy.

Exactly

You can never have enough CB...

Especially with a 34 year old starting opposite of Slay. I'm pulling for a corner in the the 1st or 2nd

Mathis is a good CB and was the top number 2 CB in the league last year. He has just as much of an injury risk than any other CB and is coming off a healthy year. Lions have two very good starting CBs and three solid guys for the nickel now. Plus a draft still to come.

yes the game is violent and everyone gets hurt at some point, old people just take longer to heal.

We were lucky that Mathis stayed healthy last year, it'd playing with fire to expect that to happen again. We need to get his replacement this year. Mathis going down in week 10 or later with no valid replacement would be pretty maddening. I expect a cb taken no later than the 2nd round.

Wouldn't even be mad if they drafted Peters in the 1st. He's that damn good IMO
