Broyles pick is looking good now. Kid looked great on Monday Night. 3 catches, 50 yds, TD in less than a half.

Lions don’t really need another WR. Just put Tony Scheffler out there.

I’d much rather see Broyles and Titus get more playing time. This season has gone to hell already and the “We’ll be fine with the team we had last year” mentality the Front Office had has backfired. Start the young guys. Get them Experience! Reiff, Bently, Green, and Underwood should all get their chance too.
And for the love of God, draft a shutdown corner or Safety next year! Positions of need NOT luxury picks Mayhew.

If they bring in another vet WR though get someone who could help as a KR or PR and cut Logan. He’s been garbage.

why does everyone hate plax? only play im situationally and let CJ broyles and young be the main guys. but broyles and young are both shortish…we need another big body wide.

JC19,

T.O. is bankrupt. He’ll pay for the veteran minimum. His creditors will make him!

As for Plax & Ocho though, you’re probably right.

I’m amazed Burress, TO, and Chad Johnson weren’t mentioned in this newsbrief. It’s like writing about Suh without calling him the origin of evil in the universe.

I’d rather see us aquire another CB than another WR. Broyles and Young are fine young receivers and need the playing time.

Any of you guys think that maybe Plax/ T.O. won’t play for minimum wage? The Lions are already up against the cap.

It sounds crazy, but these guys seem like they want to play, but they want to get paid and play to. I don’t think they will take minimum wage.

The Lions are already a circus. Adding another attraction like Plax or T.O. almost seems too easy to make this season even crazier for them.

Lions should just add TO. They don’t have much to lose at this point. That’s the number one attribute of any team that would be looking at TO.

Sign Plaxico he’s better than all of these guys & I’m pretty sure he won’t be a problem because its his last chance

Just let Young and Broyles play. Both will develop into unique weapons. Honestly, its already a lost season in Detroit – develop the kids instead of wasting time on veteran retreads
