Chester Pitts to Visit Lions on Wednesday

Free agent offensive guard Chester Pitts said on Twitter a few days ago that he will be visiting the Lions on Wednesday. John Niyo got confirmation that the visit will happen from Pitts' agent, who also said that his client will be visiting the 49ers later on in the week.
Pitts has reportedly drawn interest from a variety of teams, including the Lions, Dolphins, Bengals, and Seahawks. Obviously the 49ers are interested as well seeing as they have scheduled a visit with the veteran guard.
Before 2009, Pitts started every game from the 2002 season to 2008. He also started 2 games this past season before a knee injury brought his streak of consecutive starts to an end. If he can get healthy again, Pitts would be a nice addition for any offensive line, especially one like the Lions, which has such a big need at guard.

I'm sorry, I must be a bad person
I just read ‘Houston Texans lineman’ and think of David Carr, whom I doubt is still coherent now.
[...]when Giants coach Steve Owen, a certified defensive genius, was asked how he planned to stop Nagurski, he said: "With a shotgun, as he’s leaving the dressing room."
This guy is a good olineman....
…..hes soldi believe me….He was a rookie and most of those guys were that 1st year……Sign this guy.

Pitts has probably been there best lineman for the last few years.
How do you keep a running back out of your secondary? You put up a LEVY.

The Lions won't
let him leave…. sign him
GO LIONS in 2010! the transformation starts now.. they have much to do.
INJURY??
I hope that the injury has healed, but the real question is how much do you gamble with an injured knee? Isn’t there a lineman from Indianapolis still unsigned? Why not start there? Seems a Colt starter would be an instant upgrade to the Lions’ line to me.

Lilja
Ryan Lilja is from the Colts, and he is way overrated, not as solid of a player as Pitts. Pitts has a few years left and Lilja is younger but his best years are in the past.
overrated?
how do you figure? Although he must want a fortune as no one has signed him as of yet. It’s the knee injury that worries me as a knee injury for a lineman is never easy to overcome. They tend to be reoccuring once you have had a bad one.

Good point....
Since Suh has knee injurys in the past, we really shouldnt draft him either.
yes overrated
Yes but I think one injury in his career is a pretty good track record, I understand its a knee injury but id much rather take my chances than signing an overpriced and overrated player. Lilja will get the money from some other team because he played in front of peyton manning. Watch Lilja play, hes a big body, but hes easy to get around. Peyton gets rid of the ball.
Shaun hill
We traded for Shaun hill for a 2011 7th round pick

What is this?
We traded for a proven and capable back-up QB? Unbelievable. Thanks for the memories Culpepper.
Just the fact that we're looking at Pitts
Says to me Russell Okung is out of the question. If we actually bring him in, it definitely narrows down our draft picks.
+1........Funny how that works

Hey, as long as Zack Follett keeps hitting people, he can rap to Barney the Dinosaur for all I care.
Could be a nice pickup
Go for it!
The Bringers of Hope: Stafford - Delmas - C. Johnson - Pettigrew - Levy - Hill - Schwartz
Zack Follett: he will hurt your mind.
My thoughts Schwartz game planned against Lilja and Pitts 2 times a year
as the D coordinator of the Titans seeing how the FO is bringing in Pitts it tells me
the coach thinks he is the best fit for the Lions scheme.
Good size, solid player
Pitts could help.

Hi all, old time listener, first time caller…..I have seen the thread about Pitts, but haven’t heard anything new in over a week, is there anything out on this still or is Detroit not interested anymore?
