RELEASED DE Everson Griffen is being traded to the Lions *Merge*

[cowboyec]

Dallas saves $3M - I love it!

Picks up another pick - I love it!

Opens up snaps for younger players - I love it!

In conclusion - I love this trade.

Stephen/Will need to keep making calls.

hopefully poe is next.

I really hope that flipping players and stockpiling picks is one of the analytics things McCarthy actually learned during his time off. That would be huge by itself.

So how long does it take for us to see Griffen make a play for the Lions and wonder why he couldn't do that here even though we know why he couldn't' do it here?

1 game

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I was concerned with this because I wasn't sure he was even going to play next year if he keeps playing like he did here so it was a good job getting something for him.

 

[Teague31]

Anae time

 

[KingintheNorth]

The rest of the league probably looks at Stephen and Jerry as fools they can play hardball with.

Probably?

 

[beware_d-ware]

Lost season. Whatever.

 

[Brax]

What a great move he ended up being! Any word on what we’re getting?

conditional 6th

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

hopefully poe is next.

In order to trade Poe we'd have to give a team a 4th rounder to take him on. If he ain't cut then he will be here.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Don't go having the Lions winning the championship just yet.

Not at all what I said.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Win for us. We possibly now have an inkling of the FOs mindset for the rest of the year as well.

 

[TRUTH87]

Any chance he was the anonymous player talking crap?

poe and a 4th for vikings ot reilly reiff or to the jets for quinnen williams.

Jerry at the draft "We have an extra pick in the 6th to get defense so we can take a WR in the first!"

Also, Jerry at the draft "I've been doing this for 25 years and I still have no clue at what I'm doing."

Zone Fan Boys after the draft (no matter what we did and who we took): "WE NAILED IT!!!!!!!"

I wouldn’t count on the pick doing much. More so cap relief of 3 mill

yeah this is very good, and there are those that are still whining about anything they can about him.

Why would either team make that trade?

 

[aria]

I still can’t help but laugh it was literally about two months ago that the arm chair gm’s were saying what a great pick up he was, how much better than Quinn he would be, how he would be the missing piece on the other end of the line to open things up up for Dlaw and here people are talking about what a great move it is getting rid of him.

Classic example of fans over rating players we pick up and poopoo’ing the ones we let walk.

 

[MonsterD]

Yeah that is great sure it will save us next season when we are still saddled with J.Smith,Elliott and Lawrence's boated contracts. Not to mention T.Smith may retire and that hurts too.

kindness.
