All I'm gonna say is Ziggy showed up in three games this season. One was when Brandon Flowers was at his absolute nadir and another was a meaningless week 17 game against Green Bay. He wasn't getting consistent pressures or hurries week in and week out either.

Lions need to go into this draft and come out with 2-3 day one starters. That’s actually performing on the field.
I'm not talking about play. I'm simply taking about using the franchise tag to get a deal done. If you can't resind the tag, sign some cuts and roll the rest of the space over

You talk as if ziggy is some superstar. Dude been either hurt or buns on the field for two years.

Not a superstar but when healthy he is above avg and he was going to get paid regardless. If lions didn’t franchise him someone else would gave him a record deal. Ziggy track record is significantly better than the supposed best pass rusher available: Demarcus Lawrences. Lions don’t have a pulse on the dline and people think the most talented guy they have should just be let go. So yall will be happy with Zettel and hyder on the edges next year? Draft is trash at DE this year and the best DE available in FA is probably a guy like adrian clayborn.

tagging Ziggy was the only option 
I say we spend the rest of the money on the o or d-line

I’m not a scout so i don’t know what’s in the draft. That’s bob Quinn to find the players.

Make it happen Quinn.
They drafted him to be our Jimmy Graham. Just go and sign Jimmy Graham.
If free agency is boring that's a good thing. You only break the bank when you're one or two players away.
The Lions are not that and will continue to mine the 2nd and 3rd level of free agency just like they told you weeks ago.

Alot of bad contracts being given out. CB money is crazy. I’ll take lawson back at 5 mill a year over those crazy contracts butler or Johnson just got at 12-15 million a year. Hopefully Tabor is ready to start next year opposite Slay and Lawson plays nickel
Surprised they went so hard at linebacker position. Whiteside gone.
Hope they adress dline. Especially since ngata is leaving

Bruh bad as the lions need a running Back they bringing in demarco Murray and johnathan Stewart and frank gore. And resigning nevin Lawson hacking ass to probably start again.
And they aren't the only teams kicking tired on these old backs. There are no free agent running backs. Hyde and Lewis have injury history. The guy from the Vikings is redundant.
I think only Abdullah and Theo are back. They are gonna draft one and either sign one or keep that big dude that was running late last season.
Hopefully Lawson moved to the slot and Teez starts.
