Poor Julian........

The Lions are actually making smart moves this off season.

They've unloaded virtually all of their ex-Longhorns: Roy Williams, Shaun Rogers, and Cory Redding.

SO this affects my mock draft..Curry to Seattle now?

 

[Apollo Creed]

Peterson still has some good years left in him.

Look at Detroit, trying to resemble a football team. Its cute.

The only time you hear Julian's name nowadays is when he gets traded.

Great trade!

;yep hostile, the lions are improving their team and with our first round pick too, they will improve their team too along with the 3rd rounder

Only if they draft right. Having the pick doesn't assure anything.

Just like th Rams really improved themselves with that Eric Dickerson trade back in the 80's...

Oh wait, they didnt. They blew all the picks.

I'm wondering if they'll select another WR with their first pick. Naw, Millen isn't there anymore.

Now I'm convinced that they have made GREAT moves...

He's been playing great with Seattle. Made the probowl multiple times I believe.

Good move Lions. Some games will be won in Detroit by the home team this year.

Dumb trade.

The Seahawks were going to cut him...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3979489

And the Lions trade a young D lineman and a pick for him.

Makes no sense. Peterson is on his last leg and the Lions are rebuilding with no QB.

Seahawks got the best of that deal by far.

He probably would have never signed with Detroit, it would have cost a lot more money to sign him in free agency anyway. He's a darn good player to boot and is just turning 31.

Peterson signed with the Seattle Seahawks before the 2006 season. In his first season in Seattle he was selected to the Pro Bowl for the third time after recording 89 tackles and a career-high 10 sacks. In his second season with the Seahawks he was selected to the Pro Bowl for the second straight year after posting 74 tackles and 9.5 sacks. During the 2008 NFL Training Camp, Peterson switched jersey numbers from #59 to #98, the number he wore during his previous tenure at San Francisco. In his third season during the third season with the team, Peterson made 86 tackles and five sacks, and was selected to his third consecutive Pro Bowl. In three seasons in Seattle he recorded 249 tackles, 24.5 sacks, and three interceptions in 48 games and was elected to three Pro Bowls.

I think this trade is even both ways. What the Lions really need to get right is drafting Stafford and getting him a LT with our ex-pick.

Looks like a good trade for both teams.
