Well there was no word around Harmon either.
I don't think it's because Harmon didn't get any offers. Chances are Hightower has some offers on the table already. It would be great if we knew what was going on by the weekend.

yep
Thing is the way scot handled this whole thing had me feeling initially like he for sure fucked up in some kind of way
Because if you had scots reputation and worked with a team with a reputation like the skins, why the fuck would you just sit back and play nice and keep your mouth shut and go along with the excuse that you're taking time off because of personal reasons? he could have easily just said hey these guys are dysfunctional and not letting me do my job and are forcing me out now. He played this whole thing like a guy who knew the other side had leverage.
And you could say well of course he couldn't just say all that shit while under contract but he had plenty of opportunities where he could have leaked things to the press. This played out for a while and he went along with the charade the whole time.
I'm not sure who to believe but if Scot is completely fine in terms of his health he was an idiot for letting the Skins control the narrative. And if the Skins are lying about Scot to save face...that's a whole new low.
Word is he didn't like the offers he got and is probably coming back.

He's very close to falling apart physically. If he stays healthy, he's a great addition.

Teams don't like to give top money to inside linebackers, not seen as a premium position
Gobi for president!
Looks like Reese is banking on the same OL so that remains to be seen. Still awaiting how they address the TE in the draft and Vereen. Marshall is a massive upgrade to Cruz as the outside guy.
Man, what a crazy day in the NFL and for the Lions. I just went to MLive to see the latest Lions news, I love the new signings Bob Quinn is doing but I'm stunned we cut DeAndre Levy.
I had such high hopes for him after his Pro Bowl 2013-2014 seasons but injuries really derailed his career. Pretty much means we're drafting a Linebacker in the first two rounds.
Oh, and what a sight it would be if the Lions signed TJ Lang.
I've really disliked him and the Packers offensive line because of all the bullshit they've pulled throughout the years but if he wants to jump ship and don the Honolulu Blue and Silver, let's go and win this Super Bowl. All is forgiven.

Yeah Marshall was pretty much the perfect signing for you guys. If Eli can get 3 seconds in the pocket you should really improve on offense

Where's Cam?

Real nasty streak to him, you got to love that about a guard. He will be missed here as I think Collins still has some learning to do. Then again playing next to the best LT in the game has its benefits, but I think Leary was damn good, will bring your line some mad dog attitude
After reading about it, he has to be better than Michael Scolfield. The weakest link on the oline.

I would like for Butler to stay with the Patriots and for them to draft Malik Hooker

What time is it?
He's better than La'el Collins who replaced him. The problem with Leary is two-fold. The Cowboys have to re-sign Zach Martin and they already have a lot of money invested in Smith and Fredrick. Everyone on the line can't be played a premium. Leary also has a degenerative knee condition which is why he went undrafted out of college. Giving him a long term, big money contract is risky.

I had to start doing the math in my head when I saw the two o-line pick ups
I'd assume he'd compete for starting RT with a few guys. Coleman might be the favorite though. Maybe cam will be the top flex Guy 🤔

Why would we draft a safety?
I had no idea TJ Lang hailed from the Detroit area, makes a potential signing much more likely
http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ss...j_lang_to_visi.html#incart_river_mobile_index
Step 1.) Sign TJ Lang and further solidify the offensive line
Step 2.) Draft nothing but defense and one Running Back in the draft
Step 3.) ???
Step 4.) Go 13-3 in dominating fashion as we cruise to a Super Bowl

Wouldn't you rather draft him instead of a 7th rounder in the 2nd?
If Mario is even 90% as good as Zelda it's going to put a huge stress on the medical system in this country.
A man can only take so much servicing.
Sign Detroit native Connor Barwin. He deserves to get a contract and he has the skyline tattooed on his arm

Fair enough.
I've actually always liked Connor Barron when I've seen him play for the Eagles. He's a solid defensive end, technique wise, I'm surprised you guys cut him.
I wouldn't mind signing him but we just signed two players on the defensive line:
Lions sign Bears DE Cornelius Washington to 2-year, $6 million deal
Detroit Lions sign former Buccaneers DT Akeem Spence

I'm late, but just saw the assweiler trade
What is so "detrimental" about salary dumps?
Isn't this the dude that was talking shit and hating on the Seahawks on twitter? Lol

Browns are a pathetic organization. This is just embarrassing.

It is?
WE did it fam
Why? they got a 2nd round pick out of it. Not like it killed their cap. They can still sign anyone they want
You seem like a person that isn't very bright.

oh i thought they were going to keep Osweiller.. I work all day and this is what I see.
Sure.
Sure.
Thanks all, I will have to look closer at the contract.
lol no. They are working on a deal to send him back to Denver.

No.. we bought a 2nd and might buy a 3rd..
Two things:
1) Buy a 3rd? From who?
2) All these picks are great to build a team but what happens in 3-4 years when those rookie deals expire and all these players have to be paid?
They did the Titans pressed hard aren't they the front runners.

1) tbd
2) lets worry about finding those players first.. we've never been able to do that..

I think a important lesson we all learned from today is that......
you should read the details of things before you comment.

You got to admit it's a hell of a headline. Easy to overreact.
So very many signings.
I don't know how to cope with losing Megatron and Levy in back-to-back years.
