Tracking former Lions

[Masspartan]

I was never a fan of Hyder. He caught what seemed like lightening in a bottle for about 6 games and then teams paid him some attention AND returned him to nobody status.

Adios!

actually he tore his achilles and never returned to form. Impossible to say one way or the other whether or not he could actually maintain a high level of play. Chances are he would not of, but cut the guy some slack. That's a devastating injury and not many guys fully recover from it.

DARREN FELLS, TE
CLEVELAND BROWNS

Browns are shopping TE Darren Fells. Fells inked a three-year, $12 million deal with Cleveland last offseason but logged merely 420 snaps behind David Njoku as the team's strongest run-blocking tight end. Still due $2.65 million in 2019 and a total of $6.3 million over the next two seasons, the Browns will be hard-pressed to find an interested suitor willing to take him on their books.

The Jets have reportedly had internal discussions about trading for Fells, but they'll find a more reasonable contract to fit that role in the open market.

I was giving Chuckie the benefit of the doubt but JFC his roster fills are wack (????????????). He better pull several rabbits out of his az on draft weekend to save face or Oakland is going to murdah him.

KC waits watching and laughing thus far.

Nevin Lawson is taking his talents to Oakland.

Mahomes just orgasmed thinking about facing Lawson twice this year.

Moreover, the Lions ranked 27th in DVOA against opposing No. 2 wide receivers, the pass-catchers Lawson was most often covering opposite Darius Slay.

The Lions need a CB2 badly.

ELI HAROLDLB, BUFFALO BILLS
Bills signed LB Eli Harold to a one-year contract.

Harold never lived up to his pass-rush hype in San Francisco, but he managed four sacks in a situational role with Detroit last year. This is a solid depth signing for Buffalo. Harold will mix in behind Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy and Shaq Lawson.
