  • Probably easier to say who won’t be back. - Amari O, Bryant, Moore, Woods.

    The rest are all strong candidates to come back - with Cominsky, Swaggy, Buggs, Brown, Skipper and Elliot priorities, and Hughes and Harris likely for depth.

    • I agree with Main on those guys, although I think CJ Moore will be back with the practice squad if he doesn't catch on anywhere. He likes it here and they like him.

      • Releasing some of the overpaid ones (Vitai, Brockers, maybe even Romeo) can help cover some of these salaries

                • I would guess "priority" meaning they aren't going to waste too much time making him an offer, rather than resign him at any cost.

                  • A couple of these guys may already have their replacement and a couple others can be replaced through the draft....Anzalone is a good leader but is pretty inconsistent....Rodrigo and Barnes and maybe even Houston can fill most of what he does....Chark is tough one....Can Jameson fill his spot or no?...Skipper you replace through teh draft...They need a guard or two anyway to replace Vitai who is surely gone......Evan Brown probably wont cost too much and is valuable at both backup center and guard (though he is not a great guard by any means)

                    • Louis Riddick: Lions Will Be Super Bowl Contenders in 2023

                      ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick is very high on the Detroit Lions.

                      After a record number of viewers witnessed the Detroit Lions defeat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, the hype train has officially left the station.
                      Playing well in a game that did not have any ramifications for the playoffs showed many outside of Metro Detroit what the Lions and their culture is all about.

                      "The ball didn’t bounce our way in terms of us getting into the playoffs, after the game, I was proud of our guys," said general manager Brad Holmes. "I was proud of our organization. I was proud that we were able to end on a winning note in front of national TV and be able to give the world a sneak peak of really what we’re about. We’ve been on the Sunday 1 o'clock skirt all the time, so a lot of guys, they didn’t see us and what we were all about. And I think everybody was able to see that. But on the plane going back, yeah, I was excited."

                      The expectations for the team have now reached an appropriate level, as many supports and pundits expect the team to contend for the NFC North and a playoff berth in 2023.

                      ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick took it one step further, expressing he believes the team is in the conversation to win the Super Bowl next season.

                      "I'm going to say this now. I believe this team is a Super Bowl contender in 2023. I think what Dan Campbell is doing is just absolutely phenomenal in terms of culture setting," Riddick said. "I think young offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, what he did with Jared Goff this season -- when Jared Goff had basically thrown on the trash heap. He was blamed for everything that L.A. couldn't accomplish offensively out there with the Rams. You see what he did last night.

                      "Now he's getting lauded for a lot of the things that the Detroit Lions are accomplishing," Riddick explained further. "Along with that great offensive line, those two running backs that can absolutely just bludgeon you and a defense that right now has some young players that are standing up and saying, 'Look, you better start noticing us.' Just like Jamaal Williams said in his postgame comments, look out for Detroit in 2023. I think they for once now are going to truly be looked at and be given the respect they deserve."

                      • Barnes is downgrade from Anzalone. Anzalone is making 1 million a year and was pretty good this year. He instantly got better once the defensive line started gelling. If you can keep him at a similar price, you gain nothing by moving up.

                        • Yeah….Anzalone has too much going for him between the ears and as a leader.

                          But I’d draft one in the middle rounds to develop and for depth. I’d rather the resources go to the DL and DBs

                            Anzalone was solid this year and made some clutch plays in big spots. He is a good linebacker and replacing him will be harder than most think.

                            He is not going anywhere.
                            I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

                              Definitely have full belief in this…… and that extra belief comes from my son Scotty boy. As many of you know, he was diagnosed in Oct21 with stage 4 brain tumour which was successfully removed. He’s doing ok, no regrowth since then after 3 scans. (Next scan May) He’s getting married in Malmo, Sweden this year and aims to travel around after that, including the USA.

                              The extra belief comes from this, (long story short)…….. He did his Asian / Australian tour from 2017 - 2019. The AFL’s Richmond Tigers had won fk all since 1980. Scott attends 3 games in 2017 ——>> Richmond win the flag. He had that same Midas Touch 2 years later when he revisited the MCG in Melbourne for one game……. They win the flag again.

                              If scotty & amanda travel to the US ——>> Lions win the bowl! 👌
                              "...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
