NFL players want to play, and I don't think the Lions are guaranteeing the amount of playing time he wants.

Even if they don't do exactly the same thing, there is only one ball. If the Lions want to make JaMo a bigger part of the offense (and by every account and statement from the Lions, that's exactly what they want to do), someone's touches and snaps are going to decrease, and it probably isn't going to be LaPorta or St. Brown.

I don't think anybody is signing up Reynolds to be anything better than a #3 WR. He's a 29 year old vet that has only one season where he caught more than 40 passes. He's looking to get as much of a contract as he can because he is 29 and this might be his last real shot at non vet minimum deal.
The question is going to be much more about, once he finds his market value, are the Lions willing/interested in meeting it. He honestly probably has more value to them than other teams because of his rapport with Goff.

Originally posted by froot loops View PostI've said this way too many times but here I go again. The Holmes strategy has been a hell of lot more Patriot Way than the previous regime. They believe in plugging holes via free agency with quantity rather than with just one or two big ticket items. When you do that, you aren't getting too involved at the start of free agency but you are aggressively bargain hunting all off-season.
That is less satisfying than getting a Brian Burns, but if you go for a Brian Burns trade you limit how wide a net you can cast for other players

I don't think the pass rush was the issue as much as the bad corner play. If they did swing for the fences for Burns, maybe they don't address the corners.
It'll be fun to see who falls to our picks but we definitely have the right GM making the calls.F#*K OHIO!!!

Peoples-Jones is definitely nice to keep around but minus the San Fran game Reynolds has been an automatic safety valve for Goff.
Im pretty sure they’ll consult him. At least I hope they doF#*K OHIO!!!

I’m sure if Reynolds leaves they’ll sign somebody. Holmes likes to have a minimal roster holes ahead of the draft. But I think it becomes a bigger priority to get a true X WR in the draft. I don’t think a DPJ or similar journeyman is something you count on.
