Im not a Lions fan by any means but I like the fact that they are getting good, Stafford to Megatron is so fun to watch even thou I had to see it happen twice live during week 1 last year, good luck again this year Detroit, you have the team to compete with the cheese heads, now all I need is for my Bucs to start making some good decisions, they have the most cap space in all of the world and the 5th pick in the draft, im hoping we pick up V-Jax and a few other top free agents and draft Trent Richardson, that would be a good first few steps.

I like the fact that he understands that getting a franchise tender means he’s guaranteed an income giving him more money in one year than all but a miniscule percentage of people will make in a lifetime.

This sounds like a positive thing. I would like to see the Lions do well next year, but only if they are respectable by respectable people. Be ferocious, rip people apart, but if I see even once the serious crap I saw last year, I probably will be joining the ‘jail the lion’ campaign. Sad, but true. I am a Jets fan after all! Go Lions!

Dumb idea. 10 mil gone if there’s no deal. Should have let him walk. The secondary will still suck now.

Mayhew has his work cut out for him if he wants to keep his players. The next week will be very important in keeping players like Tulloch, Wright and Backus. That Megatron deal needs to get done soon to. Just so the fans know hes there long term.

Isn’t it awesome that Lions want to remain Lions? We’re coming people!

Good for him…hopefully he’s smart enough not to live in Detroit though…
