Problem is we still have to absorb the dead money hit....


Oh and Jerry thinks he is a great player....

We paid Plenty of players for years and they weren’t even here. Remember Novachek? I think we paid him for like 3 years after he was on his ranch. It happens!

Hand up here brother. I think I even used the word "steal" in reference to his contract. Going forward, I will promptly shut the hell up when it comes to player acquisitions. It's not the first time I've been wrong even today so I will survive.
My intern warned me, him being a Lion's fan, that we had signed Griffen's corpse and he was right. Now he gets to deal with the zombie.

It counts against the salary cap, to a tune they couldnt think about absorbing.

Not a great comparison there sir, and not sure thats even the case.

Jerry doesnt cut his buddies.

Edit...even if Crawford had the ability to play well and help the team, it was good business to get rid of a guy on the last year of a back loaded deal.

Nope...not here. Not Jerry's way.

It was mind boggling why Crawford was on the team last year. It is absolutely insane that Crawford is collecting $9M this year. It is plain to see that Crawford is a stinking, putrid, steaming pile of garbage.

If he’s here they will want to play him. That’s not good either. Cut him this offseason and save 400k. He’s that bad and needs to be gone

How could anyone think Griffen is worth more than a 6th that could become a fifth.
He was released by Minnesota, and no one signed him until we gave him a 1 year deal very late. The guy is in his 30’s and on the downhill slide. This is a half season rental, and the lions gave up a draft pick in hopes of improving their rotation and making the playoffs. That’s a great deal for Dallas.
