Paea and Williams make a good combo of pass and run defense. If someone offers Fairely a big contract, those two would be a good plan. Either one plus Fairley and Mosley would be a good recovery. It's no Suh, but that ship has sailed.

Paea is headed for Washington, so he's out.

Why not flip balt. our 5th rounder for Ngata and extend him?

I'd be down with that, except for the fact that if we move to a 3-4, which is why we would want Ngata, we need those picks to be able to draft the defensive ends to make the move at all.

In the end though, we won't get a player anywhere near as good as Ngata with a 5th rounder, so I'd love it, unless we can't extend him and then we just ate our cap room up with a guy leaving after one year.

Seeing as we have the Austin/Caldwell connection with him..would we really need to switch?

Lions are still trying to resign Nick Fairley.

Sure would have been easier to pick up the 5th year at 5.5 mil

How much and years do you think he signs for? Didn't do jack shit this season. Can't be too much. I hope.

He played really well in the 8 games he played
4 yrs 28 mil

Same guy is also reporting he has not been able to verify Fairley has even talked to the Colts. Says they may have, but no one is telling him that.

Bleacher Report... always full of shit.

Way too much. Especially when it's based on "he played well when he played" because half the season he didn't.

I'm gonna lose it if the Lions give Fairley a stupid-large contract. Reeks of desperation and too much of a risk coming off an injury (and prior work ethnic concerns).

I like Fairley, but only at a reasonable price (and probably a short contract).

 

[tsmith7559]

Just heard on 97.1,,fairley is in the 10 mil per, lol...please, no Mayhew

 

[tsmith7559]

Lions just got Ngata, lol.bammmmm

 

[hoplite]

Lions trade for Ngata.

 

[dubbsco]

Wow.

Is that a joke or for real?

I thought Jimmy Graham to the Saints was a joke too, but it was real, so now I'm second guessing everything.

If we actually gave up a 5th (or less) I will shit myself.

Clint Boling signed back with the Bengals. Looks to me we are addressing the Oline through the draft. I don't see significant upgrades available now through FA.
