I don't know if the Lions even owed him anything

 

[kdp1980]

Jesus, they owe him a million bucks, and gave up a draft pick

How does this work? Does the amount the Cards pay him work against what we owe him?

Either Schwartz didn't utilize him properly or Mayhew made a bad signing by giving up a pick. Either way it sucks..

Its insane, guy caught under 10 passes for us.

Not if he cleared waivers which I am assuming he did.

If he makes the Cards roster, Lions only owe him about +250 K

Schwartz has nothing to do with the offense and Mayhew really didnt have a choice. Their WRs were all hurt or on their way to the looney bin

Then why not just take a guy who was still unsigned rather than trade a pick to a guy that they never utilized.

No idea, Mitch. Maybe they wanted a proven guy and he was best available...i dunno. It was a move that didnt work out. We gave up a 5th? Who fn cares? lol. It wont effect the team....
