Nate is not a pro bowl receiver, but will get 700yds, 5tds as a #2, which the Lions desperately need. He especially excels at lining up in the correct position.

Now, let’s see what he can do with this new found cap space….

Though it wont provide a whole lot of cap relief, some is better than none.

The big part is Suh’s contract. Coming from the biggest Lions fan on the planet, I can tell you right now Suh will not be a Lion after 2014. There is no way the team can afford what hes going to ask. If Mayhew was smart, he would act now. Hate to say it, and I love Suh, but it is true. Any REAL Lions fan knows this.

We need more leadership guys like him.

Oh well take what you can get.
