Yessss!!!!!!! He'll be long-snapping!!!!

[Whitley]

I heard on Woodward sports the Lions had offered a 3 and 7th rounder for Evans.

[Whitley]

Okay, went to YouTube and foudn this

Summary of the little streaming clip here. This guys says that the compensation (ie what goes to the Bucs for Evans) has been agreed to. It would be a 3rd and 5th rounder in the 24 draft. The 5th rounder could become a 4th rounder if Evans makes the Pro Bowl this year for the Lions. There is another draft pick the guy speculates it is a future (not 24) 6th or 7th rounder.

Now, the hangup is the extension. Holmes is offering 2 years and Evans group is wanting 4 years.

This guy also says that his Bucs and Lions sources (talked seperately without mentioning what he has heard) confirm the terms have been agreed to and they also confirm the holdup is the length of the extension. Neither source knew what the money part being offered is.

Im not a fan of this deal...he's already 30 years old and wants another 4 year contract? Forget that....

[Whitley]

Wanting and getting are two different things

[Cody_Russell]

Skeptical about what the Lions will get out of Marvin Jones this season. So yes, Mike Evans could certainly be an upgrade when it comes to that production. I don’t really believe the Lions are in play for this trade based on the sources. Gotta see it to believe it. At the same time, sure, it hypothetically sounds nice.

Did anyone find out why Buggs was playing late in the preseason 3 game? Very bizarre.
Not really surprised he’s the only 53 man roster player to miss practice.

ANother player the Lions have been linked to recently: Chris Jones....Yes hes a great DT but can they afford him? He wants around 32M per year and 4 years......Not only that but KC would want at least 1 first and possible more...He isnt a spring chicken either at 29 years years old.

[Whitley]

A 3 and 5 (that could be a 4) even giving up a future 6 or 7. Absolutely down with that.

The question is length of the extension.

Contracts coming up


2023
Jonah Jackson


2024
Taylor Decker (if voiding last year of contract)
Jared Goff
Big V (if voiding last year of contract)
Amon-Ra St. Brown

2025
Cam Sutton (if voiding last 2 years of deal)


2026
Penei Sewell
Frank Ragnow

2027
Aidan Hutchinson

I can see why the Lions want to do extend only 2 years. That would put him with Cam Sutton or maybe no one that would be a major guys that have to be resigned. Going more than 3 years would possibly take money away from Sewell or Ragnow AND you have Hutch the following year.

This is cool…dying to find out what it is

Maybe the official is trying to get his foot in the door in case Johnson does leave next year.

For the same reason Houston was playing late in the 3rd preseason game. Really no one else was available at that time.

So Blough punks Sudfeld for his #10, then Teddy punks Blough for it.

[Whitley]

Buggs has scrubbed all his social media stuff related to the Lions. He was not allowed to practice yesterday and today.

The plot thickens.

This makes me wonder if Buggs is part of a trade. Maybe for Mike Evans? Also has Broderic Martin improved that much that he is a viable option to start?
