Injuries and other things will happen before the season begins and before the trade deadline. I'd wait and see. Needs will appear as desires will fade.

The only player I would really care to add at this point would be for improving and/or adding depth at the safety position.

Nothing wrong getting a few players for depth in case of injuries, hate to see all of this excitement and hard work be depleted because of bad luck

I’d rather wait and see what James Houston can do when healthy 1st…

Houston and Davenport both have potential to be monsters if they can be healthy. I agree - let's stick with what we got.

It’s so refreshing to hear 97.1 the ticket say something positive about the lions. I see they finally got rid of SOL.

I don’t think Allen is available. But if he is, get him. He gave Ragnow fits last season.

Their naive to not think how the csp rolls over to the next year, especially when you want to resign McNeil

The cap space is to pay our future not to keep signing one year contracts The Lions got that for every position it’s trying to figure out who to keep and pay at this point in time and I hate to say it if Jamo doesn’t give us A career best this year he might be on the chopping block when it comes to a payday

A stand up OLB edge rusher really doesn't fit the Lions.

Agreed they want inside outside guys. I think a big part of pass rush will be from linebackers. Lions hope they have a secondary that can match up with guys while they send the blitz

Thank god someone sees it. It’s like people claim to trust Holmes. But they think he’s too dumb to know his own scheme or who fits in it. Davenport is the perfect guy for this scheme. If you look at New Orleans they got 12 sacks from Jordan. Then 6 from Hendrickson most years. Except for one where Hendrickson got like 12 and Jordan got 6. I cannot stress this enough: they are happy with Davenport.

The discussion for years has been we need to get another defensive end to play opposite of Hutch. Matthew Judon is not a defensive end whether you like it or not.

If Lions added Mack and Judon...Superbowl

I'm still waiting for an extension for McNeil. I'm concerned they're going to let him FA and if that happens and he keeps trending up good luck signing him. And then who do they replace him with? Onwuzurike? Martin? In other words they don't have a replacement ready to plug in if McNeil walks.

DT is the most replaceable position on defense. Literally. Look up WAR values. That’s due to the rotational value of the position. I would hope they lock up alim. But if they took a guy in round 2-3 next year, there’s very little doubt he could step in and do what alim did.

Brad holmes isnt as near sighted as the fans and local media. I fully tgink hes rolling cap unto next year and front loading some resigned players with the extra cap room so he can keep this core together for the next 5 years

Lions shouldn't spend their cap space if they want this to last, theyre already one of tge best rosters in the nfl so why would it be smart to mortgage their future when they can roll cap space into the future with one of the best teams already

@treyallen6160 ya but they can roll over all of that cap space and frontload some contracts to keep their core together.

Hopefully the cap space will be used to put quality players on the Lions practice squad. The Lions practice squad players can be elevated two times to the game day roster before they must be signed to the active roster. BH will cover for injury in this manner. Some players are looking for a paycheck without a season commitment at the end of their careers.

Mann Judon would be a match made in heaven for the lions right now. He will turn 32 before the season. But he still will get 10+ sacks, and be very helpful for some of these young guys they have.

Judon has never played in the 43. He is a LB. He would be relegated to a rush specialist who replaces Houston or Betts. This would literally be the dumbest move the team could make.
