Around SBN: Josh Hamilton's Unique Public Statement On His Addiction

Veteran free-agent DT Grady Jackson is headed to Detroit on Tuesday afternoon, and if he passes a physical Wednesday, he’s expected to sign a two- or three-year contract with the Lions, a source close to the situation said.

“But he’s also one of the players who tested positive for Bumetanide after taking StarCaps, a supplement that secretly included the banned diuretic. So, depending on how things turn out with that lawsuit in Minnesota, Jackson ultimately could face a four-week suspension.” from PFT

interesting.

You do know . . .

You get that that means he was suspended for taking an over-the-counter weight loss supplement that was illegally spiked with a prescription diuretic, right? As in, the manufacturer was breaking the law and he was an innocent victim? A dozen or so other players were caught up in this, and the league actually knew about the spiking but didn’t tell the players.

Peace

LJ Smith is visiting too....

…..TE from Philly. Would definetly be an upgrade from Gaines.

Do you have a source for this?

I hadn’t heard this yet. I would be in favor of this signing for sure. Even thought he hasn’t met expectations, I think he is a solid TE.

As long as we don't spend too much for him

I think this will be a decent pick up. It will be one of those stop gap guys til we draft a big physical DT in a year or two. He brings the same thing that Shaun Rogers did, a big run stuffing DT that will probably only be in on run plays though but we can get him for a quarter of the price. He will also demand a double team a lot of times which will be really good cause in our 4-3 he will take blockers off of Redding allowing him to be that DT he was 3 or 4 years ago when he got that big contract and had a very good year. Redding is not the kind of player that can dominate against a double team but if you have a really big strong guy next to him to take blockers away from him he can be great. I hope it goes through bc him on run downs and Fluellen on passing downs I think is a major upgrade. Just be happy we can get Grady instead of having to deal with another year of Darby. GO LIONS!!!!

I'd like to be getting bigger & younger at DT

…I guess we’ll settle for getting bigger and much, much older.
