Threading the needle on contracts and draft capital isn’t easy.
It’s not every day you find a NFL Defensive Player of the Year up for grabs, and certainly not one of Myles Garrett’s caliber. But the Cleveland Browns and Garrett seem to be at loggerheads, and while the Browns aren’t trading him yet, his intentions are well known and everyone’s just trying to figure out what could be had for what, if anything.
Now he wants to play for a Super Bowl contender, so what does that make the Detroit Lions in all this? Certainly they’ve been carefully threading the needle on contracts, rookie deals and excellent drafting to build culture and possible longevity, but there’s always the argument of windows, win now, just-one-more-piece and all that. Is that Garrett?
On this episode of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, we discuss the sudden appearance of a new edge rusher potentially on the market and what it might cost the Lions and if it’s even worth the taste at all.
We also take some time to discuss David Shaw, the new Lions passing game coordinator, and how he’ll find in with the departure of Tanner Engstrand, and why the Lions have taken such a veteran-heavy approach to the offensive staff. Plus, our panel discusses the top positions and units needing to be addressed this offseason by Brad Holmes, contracts to extend and all the rest.
