Lions apparently likely to resign Suh.


Now they can focus on areas of other need...like Stafford.

That is great news.

 

[TrueOrange]

That is great news.

Especially the Stafford part

But seriously, here's a link:

I apologize that it's mobile, but espn makes it difficult to get a regular web address for it on my phone.

Suh wants to go to Seattle.

Suh wants to go to Seattle.

Nope he stays here I demand it.

Also it's his hometown but it's not happening.

 

[TrueOrange]

Nope he status here I demand it.

I don't know that Seattle would necessarily have the cap space either.

They don't. They already have cap issues and they have to give Wilson $100M

Lions cut Reggie Bush.

Tough because I like him but right call

Disappointed he was cut.

 

[zjcvols]

Disappointed he was cut.

Had too. We need a the cap space we can get.

Suh likely gone from Detroit

Suh likely gone from Detroit

Yep, going to the highest bidder.

 

[508mikey]

Yep, going to the highest bidder.

Dan Snyder and the Redskins

SUH WAS NEVER GOING TO BE FRANCHISED IT WOULD COST LIKE $25M FOR THIS YEAR AND WOULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE AND TAKE A BIGGER CAP HIT.

I don't know if Suh is staying but he was never going to be franchised and I don't know why the media thinks this proves anything.

 

[Zetter]

Do you think Suh will stay for less money. If he was going to stay and help out the cap then he would've signed a deal last year.

Like I said I don't know if he is staying. But it would have been suicide for 2015 to franchise him because of the cap hit. It means nothing for his free agency this year.

 

[Zetter]

I agree it would be suicide to franchise him. What's even worse is we take a 9mil cap hit when he's on another team. Suh also said that his agent will pick where he goes.

Suh to Miami and the Lions to the Super Bowl.

 

[508mikey]

Suh to Miami and the Lions to the Super Bowl.

They still need a better QB dont they ? The Lions had Defense but so-so Offense Miamis Offense isnt even so-so plus they are in the same division as the cheaters

 

[Zetter]

It's up to Stafford if QB will be an issue. If he puts in film time and work then QB shouldn't be an issue. DL is the issue now with Suh and likely Fairley gone. Still have DC Austin so not to concerned depending on free agency.

meant the Dolphins have the QB issue and no offense

 

[SergeantVol]

F*** the Lions! Glad y'all lost Suh. I wish all y'all decent player would leave. 0-16 for the Lions next year! Y'all are one of the few teams to do it and will eventually do it again!

 

[Zetter]

Lol. I hope all you're decent players stay.

 

[SergeantVol]

0-16 that is all I have to say...
