5th rd pick

Oh man, I think it would take more than that for him. I was thinking one of those 2nds or a 3rd would be their asking price.

A fifth rounder though, hells yes

Teams are making sure players know what’s prohibited by gambling policy

It’s alarming, to say that least, that multiple players learned nothing from the one-year suspension imposed during the 2021 season on receiver Calvin Ridley. Three players were suspended for at least a year on Friday for betting on NFL games, and two others were suspended six games for betting on non-NFL games from NFL facilities.

The situation is causing other teams to take a closer look at what they’re doing, or not doing, in order to ensure that players understand what they can and can’t do. Obviously, something happened in Detroit to cause four guys to committed unforced errors regarding the gambling policy.

Did they not know the rules? Did they think they’d get away with violations? Did the Lions fail to impress on them that they will get caught and will be suspended, if they break the rules?

Per multiple sources, it’s causing other teams to revisit their in-house procedures, and to reiterate the rules. Although great pains are taken every year, in the form of a standalone seminar, to educate the players on the gambling policy and its mandates and prohibitions, the latest suspensions show that more work can be done to avoid a situation in which players are not being available to play due to violations of the bright-line rules of the gambling policy.

The problem is that the widespread availability of legalized gambling is creating habits that are hard to change. It’s starting in high school for plenty of kids who: (1) like sports; (2) have a little money; and (3) can quickly and easily place bets on games.

Cepheus and Moore bet on NFL games. Thank the holy fuck Williams was smart enough to avoid that. What the hell are these guys thinking? I liked Cepheus as 4th and 5th WR as well

He would be good to pair with Williams (when he can play again) but he's never been like a guy I really want. It's probably me though

[jaadam4]

I was never much of a fan either but with the suspension it would be a nice get if the price is right.

Wow.. that's quite a haul for a QB that might only play 1 year. the 2023 second rounder is a nice pick and they'll def get a 1st rounder for next year.

[Forsh]

I don't think it's much at all. Basically they got a 2nd this year and a mid to late 1st next year for Rodgers.

[Iron Lion]

All that matters is that Love sucks. It won't matter how many picks they get. The Packers front office has been incompetent for decades. Without A-A-Ron they'd have been finishing lower than us for years.

[chemiclord]

I dunno if I'd say the Packer's front office is incompetent more than operating under parameters that are self-defeating. They're trying to be something like the Tampa Bay Rays of the NFL... but there's absolutely no reason to be. The only guy they ever paid was Rodgers, and kept trying to build a team on the cheap everywhere else.

And they could get away with it because the division was so bad that even a flawed team like the packers could win it most every year.

So you're telling me there's a difference between being incompetent and operating under self-defeating parameters?

A’Shawn Robinson Is signing with the Rams. Thats crap, I was hoping he’d come back to Detroit

[Cody_Russell]

Signed with the Giants*, but darn… A’Shawn was my hope as a backup plan IF the Lions don’t draft a DT early on. Day 1 or day 2 DT.

Maybe a Suh reunion as a new backup plan? Surely the Lions could convince him that this a winning team.

While we're at it, we can get Slay back too. It'll be difficult to pry him from the warm embrace of Fatty Matty Patty, but doable.

In the end, it always comes down to money...Ashawn got 8 mil for one year....No way the Lions should pay that....As for the "winning team" thing, the Giants made the playoffs last year and the Lions didnt....I dont remember Ashawn being all that great when he was here.
