I wouldn't say playoff team yet.

Houston's contract breakdown is pretty good too. Base salaries of $1m, $3.5M, $4.5M, $4.5M and $5M with a signing bonus of $6.5M so cap hits of 2.3, 4.8, 5.8, 5.8 and 6.3. Not bad for a solid starting corner.

Still waiting on the Quin breakdown but we should be in pretty good shape these next 2 years and even better if Stafford signs a new deal.

Please, Shotty - no more of these predictions. You are the master of the jinx.

Please predict an 0-16 season for us ...

Any news on KVB? I haven't heard anything, I hope they bring him back at a vet minimum.

LOL, nah man, I didn't mean we're a playoff team right now, but if we do those things (get a fast guy to stretch the field, resign Delmas) and fill some needs with good players in the draft, we'll be in great shape.

No news on Michael Bennet that I've heard. Hopefully his price will go down, that would be a solid signing.

Getting him would mean we take any DE off the board at #5, which is huge IMO. If its less than 6.5 mill a year Mayhew needs to get him to make this offseason great.

I liked the signings yesterday but I feel we may have overpaid Houston given the quality and quantity of corners on the market. Quinn I believe will prove to be the best of the signings. Reggie Bush fits the prototype of what we wanted but besides availability Im not sure he s as good as Jahvid Best was. Jason Jones IMO is better as a pass rushing DT than as a DE but I think we will be using him as a starting DE where I think he will still be an improvement over what KVB had left last season.

Regardless, the signings yesterday helped patch up some huge holes. Lions should still be in the market for a rotational DT, possibly another starting DE, and I d like to see them bring in at least one more veteran in the secondary whether its a CB or a S. Im okay with them trying to fill the OLB spot from within. Offensively, I wouldnt mind seeing them add a WR who can field punts. Otherwise we may see them in the draft taking another WR within the first three rounds.

Ugh. I've seen some comments about maybe signing Darrius Heyward-Bey. NO thank you. I wouldn't want a speedy outside receiver with stone hands at any price. Had too many of those on the team already.

wha? you didn't like the Az Ahkim and Bill Schroeder combo??

His hands aren't as bad as they're thought to be, and he's not just speedy, the guy is faster than Jahvid Best was. Add the fact that he'd be up against number 2 corners every down and have to beat out the other guy to start, and signing him would only be good if he comes cheap.

I like that number, good choice Reggie (21). It's plucked down between three of the Lion greats. Barry Sanders (20), Billy Sims (20), & Bobby Lane (22). Hopefully he'll do enough to join that company in his short time.

You no what's great about this forum, no one actually have control of who gets signed. An for cheap, DHB would be a asset. I'm a true believer, Oakland makes players bad ala Randy Moss. You don't know any players real potential until they leave Oakland. Yes even JaMarcus Russell. They're horrible at player development.

He's not in our building, is he?
