Bored so I thought i would throw this together i see if anybody is interested in makin a move on somebody on the list. Lots of trash in the bottom but we might be able to get somebody worth while if WCF wants to spend some money.

Marcus Spears
Would be at the top of my list.

Amen to that....
I too would like some moves in the free agent market… i think that schwartz might have persuasive football mind to get some FA to believe in his system and our beloved Detroit Lions
some intriguing possibilities
Some good players…..some long-term, some band-aids. This could help take pressure off our draft plan, sorta like how we got 2 LB’s as FA last year after only drafting 1.
What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.
I agree sir
If we hit these guys up… it will shape what direction our draft will go obviously but it would be nice to make a decent splash in FA
You think Kampman would join us?
I hear he doesn’t like the 3-4, and not a big fan of his DC. Maybe he’s like to help us stick it to the pack?
Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year....Sparky Anderson
U do that anyway though Nate
at least that’s what I’ve heard
I spray paint my dog Honolulu Blue and Silver
Pic - me vs. Bears fans
And I should say......
We need to look at the best of the younger guys in this list. Good post Gyorick….this is something we need to consider.
I think that Ray Edwards, Kampman, Tapp, and Spears (because of his size, not because he has lit the world on fire) are the best of the FA DEs, and maybe even Bowen from Dallas too (again…..size). I think the relative age and ability of these guys make them excellent targets for us in FA, and landing at least one of them would make it much easier for us to focus elsewhere in the draft.
Signing Kampman would be huge!!!
He doesn’t get utilized correctly because they have him out in coverage where he would rather be hand down in the dirt, pinning his ears back and smashing the quarterback. Cause of the prior reason is exactly why he prolly doesnt enjoy his DC. However that is exactly what schwartz is looking for DE to get pressure on QB with speed and power but also skilled enough to keep his outside shoulder clear and never lose the edge funneling everything up the middle to our linebackers. I would like the looks of Kampman, Suh, Hill, Vanden Bosch. That would be night and day we could still have gradys big ace to not be an every down tackle and get a little more out of every D lineman we got because they wont be expected to play all game but to fill in when needed with 110% effort.
Last year, Jared Allen was a rich man's Kampman
I like both gyo and your thoughts on him. Gyo, How bout we keep Peterson and go Kampman, Suh, Hill, and Peterson?
Just give me 25 guys on the last year of their contracts; I'll win a pennant every year....Sparky Anderson
Like it actually
Suh might get enough attention that it would let Peterson try to reign terror. That could work as well, I’m assuming your keeping Sims then so we would still be good there(if he would stop over pursuing) So my question is would you keep avril or try to shop him
keep avril
with more talent on the line, i think he could be a force.
My top 3 DE's
1.) Ray Edwards (just look what he did to us in 2 games)
2.) Ogunle (knows the Bears well and I think he’s pretty good)
3.) Aaron Kampman (still young and he’s already in the division)
I hope we don’t bring back James Hall. He had one mediocre year thanks to Shaun Rogers. Otherwise he’s not that good.

My favorites
I would like any one of these guys..
1. Darryl Tapp
2. Mark Anderson
3. Aaron Kampman
4 Vanden Bosch
I would really love to have Ray Edwards but there is now way the Queens let him go.
One guy Like that is not on the list...
Derrick Burgess NE. Just like Kampman. He is a DE playing LB in a 3-4 scheme.
You can throw Chike Okeafor, ARZ in that catagory as well. When both of them were in a 4-3 scheme. They put up double digit sacks.
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
Good call JCruize
I would like to have Chike Okeafor in honolulu blue and silver. That would be great!!

I just like the name Chike....we could have alot fun with it

Uncapped 2010
Most of these guys are RFA’s now due to the 2010 CBA running out. Players with less than 6 years are all RFA’s, most sites are using the old rules. Plus teams can franchise up to 3 players next year too. Most of these players will be unavailable.
Good info Russ
Is that true about the franchise tag?? I haven’t heard that. I would think the players union would never have allowed that but with the nuances of the new CBA it might have made it necessary.

Just because you can
Don’t mean you will. In the economic situation we’re in currently, there are far more teams that are going to be willing to let players go rather than franchise them. Franchise tag = average of the top 5 paid players at the position. If you think for a second while ticket sales and merchandising is down and with no revenue sharing that teams are going to shell out that kind of money for one let alone two or three players, you’re nuts.
To the contrary, I think that there are going to be alot more high end players out on their asses this year. Sadly, however, that means nothing for us because Ford isn’t going to put any money into this team whatsoever.
Hmmmmmmmm
you make excellent points Nate. I would like to see the higher end players making less anyway………..this may be a good situation in Motown if that’s the case.

Assuming
Ford puts $$$$$$$ into our beloved Lions

Technically
I was wrong they get an extra transition tag. So a team can franchise and transition a player or transition 2 players. Not three though, I was wrong there.
Hahaha
just f*ing with you dudes. It is “duly” but det32 might argue this point. JK det32

Nice post Gyorick
Very useful. My choices would be Edwards, Kampman, Vanden Bosch & Ogunleye. It would be a pretty big move on Schwartz and Mayhew’s part to bring one of those guys over here. Personally, I’m hoping for it.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).
