Hard money or total contract. It doesn't matter. Both tell the same story.

Money is the discussion.

What is inconsequential is who could take his place, but Adams and Faj-JJ were both available in 2025, would have cost half the money, and played significantly better. This year the pickings are slim, but that doesn't mean that Collaros is being paid properly

No, only one tells the story of whether, or by how much a player might be over paid in comparison to his peers. TOTAL salary. Any comparison of partial salary attained thru Hard money vs bonuses does not and cannot tell that tale. Using it out of context is either the author of the post not using logic, or the author of a post hoping that the lack of logic is overlooked.

If, as you say, both tell the same tale then post up total salary amounts as they are required to prove your point.

Who benefits most from Lions' recent moves in free agency?

With the lions locking up their lt spot, gio manu is going into a make or break camp.

The odds are long and against him, before the draft no less. They could well draft an ol project. He needs to have an extremely good camp, it may well be an extended try out for other nfl teams if their ol stays health.

OT Gio Manu

“Manu is entering a massive third NFL season, and his path to a starting spot may have gotten steeper with the addition of Borom. Penei Sewell will anchor one side of the offensive line, and it could be either the left or right side with Taylor Decker being released.

Now, with the addition of Borom, Manu has more competition to work with. He missed significant time last season with a knee injury after making his first career start, which cost him valuable practice reps that could've aided his development.

The Lions had previously discussed the potential of Manu playing guard last offseason. With the team also adding Mays and Scruggs and already having two starting guards returning, Manu may not even have a clear path to playing time should he ultimately slide inside. He needs to have a strong training camp.”

Wouldn't that be something if he was cut loose & we signed him? Don't overpay, though.😏
