Two-year deal worth $3.5 million total and $2 million this season according to the link below. If that is the case, seems like a solid signing.

What a great signing. Very good secondary intact.

12th ranked CB, top ranked 2nd CB per PFF. Great job Mayhew.

 

[kdp1980]

Still need to draft Mathis' replacement this year. Might as well let him tutor his future replacement for a year.

Good signing with another vet presence. Mathis was decent last year

Agreed. And he was more than decent last year.

I agree with KDP too......his replacement needs to be found this year. I like the fact that Bentley and Lawson come back this year.......but we need to find another outside CB. In today's NFL.....you just cant expect that kind of health for your starting CB's for another year.

I'd say somewhere in the first 64 picks......the Lions need to address it. Can you imagine the secondary if Slay and Mathis were to miss time?? I'm not ok with Don Carey starting on the outside!!

Good signing. Just don't resign Cassius Vaughn.

I agree he was better than decent too. He was solid. Just didn't wasn't the doom and gloomers to jump all over me for giving praise to a Lions players..lol. Heaven forbid!!

I hear ya. How dare you praise anyone from an 11-5 team!!!

GM is terrible!
QB is a joke!

11 teams just felt bad for us and let us win!

Mathis was ranked the top number 2 CB in the NFL per PFF. 12th overall.

Mathis was a stud last year. Good in 2013.

Yes, we get it......every player wearing honolulu blue is a superstar!!!

 

[kdp1980]

Good signing, and a guy that obviously WANTS to be here. Did he even work out for any other teams? My guess..no. His loyalty was to our team. Love it

Our defense played great. Anyone who said otherwise (everyone but me) is eating crow this year.

Birkett said other teams were interested but retirement on the table if the Lions didn't offer 2 years.

1.5 cap hit and 2 million cap hit next year. 500k dead next year.

That's fine because you're still filling up on the crow from the top 5 offense prediction. Still have a side of our defense is better than Seattle crow to finish.

Lions were better than Seattle. More turnovers and sacks, better run defense. Lions were the better defense.

And we'll see how Seattle does without Maxwell this year.

And Chris Greenwood.....the next Richard Sherman!!

And I'd be right on the offense too. Too many offensive injuries. 100% injury reason why that prediction fell short.

11-5. More crow for the .500 predictors, below or 9-7 to eat.

I'm glad they didn't have to overpay for Mathis. CBs are vastly overpaid for the most part, I was worried he might cash in the chips before retirement. Good signing.
