Another signing for the Lions in this off season. They have actually been quite active this year, although they really haven't signed a whole lot of useful talent. The major move they made so far was to trade Shaun Rogers to the Cleveland Browns for a 3rd round draft pick and CB Leigh Bodden.
Today they announced the signing of former Tampa Bay Buc corner, Brian Kelly. Signed to a 3-year deal with details undisclosed at this point of course, the Lions have filled at least the starting CB vacancy for the team next year.
The other signings that we have seen in the last few weeks include people with mesothelioma, players that didn't play last year, not due to injury, but due to general suckiness, and every safety that they could get their hands on.
This team is still terrible so don't fool yourself with any of these moves. We have no RB worth squat. Our defensive line is just pathetic now with the loss of Pro Bowler Sahun Rogers. Our offensive line is full of average to below average blockers who get paid like they are Pro-Bowlers. Yes, I know Raiola went to the Pro-Bowl last year, but every Lion that made it were alternates other than Roy and they certainly did not deserve to go.
Add to the fact that Kitna is a terrible QB , and we have a coach that is pretty much only competent at making cliche sports quotes. LBs are gone. Lehman is gone, Bailey is probalby gone, and we have Ernie Sims. Nothing else to get excited about.
Kalimba Edwards is leaving as well as far as reports go so this team is going to rebuild again for th 57th year.
Of course int he draft if you think we will address either line you are high on weak Lions weed. The Kool Aid after a 7-9 season should be at an all-time high, but this team gets worse by the day.
Remember that Millen is drafting for this team. We may have a couple extra pics, but when a guy loves to draft 5th rounders in the 2nd and 3rd you really can't expect him to hold on to the extra picks we have. HE will get all excited about some realtive no-name and blow extra picks to move up 2 spots and get a guy he could have draft 2 ROUNDS later.
God I hate this team.
