Meanwhile, guys will take massive pay cuts to play for N.E., the Giants, the Cowboys, and others.

I think Mayhew still has some tricks up his sleeve. He’s proven to be shrewd so far.

It’s never very popular, but the Pats have shown how to not just get there, but stay there. You have to send off players like megetron or what ever it is to go to some one who will pay the crazy amount of money they want. Seymore and Branch are examples. Let them go make some big money for a while and then they come back and help you win the big games. There are guys coming out every year that can play great at WR and with a QB and GREAT OL can be great playmakers. You have to pay them all but the QB, OL and defense have to come first.

If he is even somewhat about team he will restructure to give the Lions some flexibility to bring in some more talent.

It may even make the longtime pain of losing go away………

One and done. Maybe again in the next ten years. Just like the Texans.

They need to make playoff appearances part of their culture, once you get there anything can happen. I am looking at you 2008 Cardinals.

The NFC North will be one of the tougher divisions in football for the 2010′s.

They’re going to have to draft well and continue to restructure many of their vets to improve from where they were last year.

FA is not an option for these guys at this point.

Looks like New Orleans Super Dome.

I think Detroit’s had it bad enough without this type of ‘piling on’.

Lions need just two things

1. Improved secondary
2. Running game

They somehow establish those two things, and they can contend with any team in the league.

Once you’re in the playoffs, anything can happen. I think the Lions would like another crack with 99.9% of the same team they had last year.
