The Lions sign Marvin Jones for 8 million a year

If Josh Gordon is back to his best and we signed Marvin Jones coupled with retaining Hawkins, Gabriel and Hartline we would be fine

Interesting....Browns tendered Terrell Pryor today.....so add him back to the list WR list....

And re-signed Meder and Carder.....(cant say Carder really excites me, but whatever)

I think Tank would of been better served signing with the Carolina Panzers .....

Tanks been with us forever. Why hasn't he competed for the starting spot yet? If he's not good enough to start, why have we kept him around this long? Purely special teams? I mean we've seen some utterly shitty LB'er play the last few years, if he can't start at least a couple games a year on this LB'ing corp, he must suck.

Per MKC.

What are your thoughts?

Is he substantially better than Benjamin? If not since we will have to over pay either one of them then it's all down to value. It would be nice if he were substantially better than other free agents available that we could over pay. Apples to apples I personally prefer to keep the guy we know. But coaches always want their own players.

(assuming that Benjamin wants to stay, if he doesn't, fuck him.)

Tank has stuck because Tabor has stuck. It's that simple. He offers nothing defensively. He isn't even serviceable. He flat out cannot play the position.

As for Marvin Jones, it's a no-brainer that there is interest. We have been saying that since January.

If Benjamin goes....who the hell is going to return punts?

Raheem Mostert came on late in the year & did well. Mostert was redone today. I really think they are leaning towards a Young WR in draft that can be used in KR/PR while building with other WR's. Trust in Gordon to get to end of contract? Get Marvin Jones on real paper Wednesday Sashi !!!!

The #Lions are getting WR Marvin Jones, source said, for what is expected to be about $8M per year (as @diannaESPN said).

Yep, letting Benjamin go is working out just peachy keen. Now how can we fuck up our OL?

I want to be impressed by this FO before the day is out. Not starting out so hot.

Shamu is a mean run blocker.

$8mm puts him atop the WR2's and on the heels of the #1's... makes sense...

On to Sanu!

They may be hard liners on building through the draft. It could be ugly for a year or two. I am sure the fans will be patient....

Waka! Waka! Waka!
