Geebrr Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bigblue204 said: No. That makes the deal make more sense. Nichols is better, and didn't just sign a new contract, and is still making more. It is crazy to me that those guys would be anywhere near each other in pay. But, people do dumb things in free agency. Edited February 8 by Geebrr Noeller and bigg jay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows, he just doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him, IMO. He has no problem throwing out numbers for other teams but doesn't want to make it seem like the Lions are spending wildly so he keeps that under wraps.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Some decent DL available in Global Draft, mostly nose types. Hope we take advantage. If we can grab a guy that can play like 20-25 snaps that would be huge. Canadian Draft a bit sparse this year when you see the guys coming to combine. Everyone else after NFL tryouts. Not many guys in there that will play right away. Bigblue204, wbbfan, JCon and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Rider's loading up...Carney now...guy would have looked good here.....they trying to buy a one yr turn around and curious still on the Oullette and now Carney numbers, as if they higher price targets too...they will have next to nothing for depth.....I sure hope that we didn't sacrifice defensive help for the big offensive salaries, and that we have a plan/idea that some the new recruits, and a couple holdovers can step up...Hold overs not being Bennett..Thoms...Schmeckle....because if they are the plan, and nobody new steps up or gets a legit shot...we gonna be a hurting defensive unit and will need to throw up 35+ points a game wbbfan, rebusrankin and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta have solid recruitment to go with it or you are doomed. Riders recruitment has not been good. For every big ticket guy you gotta have someone on the roster playing at a high level on an ELC or else your depth with be dog poo.

I just don't see it happening tho. 11 minutes ago, 17to85 said: Thinking our depth on d comes from recruiting players. As it should.

He doesn't need to be a depth guy, just needs some depth behind him that can take meaningful, impactful snaps.

Geebrr Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Love Jeffcoat , but we need someone every game. Dude makes good money and we need a guy on the field. The Riders just keep over spending - they do it every year. Noeller and bb1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s an incentive based deal with a lower base I’d be good with it. Love what he brings when he’s actually on the field.
