Paracaidas posted:In signing this extension, Love has given up more than $5m in guaranteed money compared to the 5th year option in exchange for the potential, through escalators to earn about $2m more (if I'm understanding the numbers correctly). Think long term. If Love hits even a handful of escalators he'll get an extension and a big payday. They aren't terribly difficult to hit for a starting caliber QB. So it then works for both parties because Love gets more money guaranteed up front and GB has an easier out with two firsts next year if he's not the guy, with Love still getting guaranteed cash. It's a weird situation. I can't recall of anything remotely like this.

About three months ago, for a little while after they released Michael Brockers, the oldest rostered player on the Lions was 29.

It's ~$10m in cap space next year, not pennies. Also, if you're Gutekunst, you don't really have a ton of incentive to pick up the 5th year option. The franchise tag would have still been an option next year, so the downside is really only an extra $9m of cap. For Love, this deal pretty much guarantees him two seasons to prove he's the guy.

Should be a Hall of Famer and it annoys me that his greatness at cornerback wasn't recognized until late because he didn't have the interceptions.

I think holmes got high on his success picking players last year and just said absolutely everyone else but us is wrong about everything, and we don’t give a gently caress. It’s like some New England Patriots poo poo. And it really better pay off or else it’s gonna be a huge embarrassing failure.

https://twitter.com/King_kevvoo/status/1654637411069214721 This sucks. Kevin King took last season off to get healthy and to reassess his love for the game after dealing with so many injuries. At the start of FA one of his really close friends died, then he tore his achilles training.

I don’t think Joe Barry is any good but I hate the defense has all these first rounders the pressure is on him talk all the time. How about looking at are these first rounders any good and put the pressure on Gute? Like our safeties are a bunch of special teamers and Savage the first rounder stinks. Stokes was loving awful last year before going out for the year. Wyatt was an old defensive lineman that didn’t show much last year(first year lineman almost always struggle so still hopeful on him). He picked Quay over Devin Lloyd who had a much better rookie season as well. Alexander, Gary and Clark who was a TT pick one though but the years are starting to stack up a lot of drafts after those.

Savage got somewhat better after coming back from being benched. Part of the issue with these players in the secondary is they keep being asked to do something other than what they're good at. It works for Jaire since he's an All-Pro talent, but come on.

Though I will say that I hate the idea that draft and coaching are segregated. Like a draft pick is destined to be a hit or miss no matter what, you just hope you pick them Like some sort of football Calvinism CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 6, 2023 |

Maybe I'm misremembering, but it feels like with the secondary, everyone has a good first year -- then they get asked to do something else in Year 2 and it all just falls apart.

A lot of it also was because Amos lost a step, Quay wasn't great at the start of the year, and then there was zero pressure off the edge once Gary got hurt as well. Once Barry stopped relying solely on soft zone coverages when the pass rush couldn't produce he played much better. He even admitted he was trying to do too much.

Quay ended up showing he's a bit of an rear end on the field also. Ejected twice iirc last year
