What will Stanback be seeking if he outperforms Carey in 2022?

Huff usually doesn't overpay. Expect some vets to be going to FA from the Stamps now. They have their OL signed so I expect they'll be a run heavy team with noodle armed Bo playing. Now we know why Sankey is not coming back.

Darnell Sankey will be on his 11th different team in 6 years. 

Crazy.

There is a Farhan Lalji report that the Lions have offered Lawler 250k on a 2-year contract.

I'm not sure I get the over pay for Carey. What has he done exactly?

I get it, he’s fantastic and a great fit for them.

[Booch]

if we were not set with a canadian as a RB....I would love to see Carey behind our oline, and in that lockeroom

200K for Lucky

165K for Burnham

250K for Lawler

I guess they are "saving" with Rourke being on a somewhat friendly deal right now but the amount of money they'd have locked up in three receivers without ever addressing their offensive line (or any other aspect of their team) is questionable.  It's great to have guys to catch the ball but if the guy throwing it to them is getting killed every play, I'm not sure how sustainable that is.

They had one of the best qbs in the league and some good receivers last season and still sucked ass. Adding Lawler and downgrading their qb isn't going to make them a better team. They have a poor Ol and no run game. Doesn't matter how much they spend on receivers of they don't address those issues.

I get that Reilly is a HOFer etc. But I continue to believe he was one of the main reasons they suffered so much last year. There was very little use of check downs by Reilly. He held on to the ball for far too long a lot of the time. Even while underneath routes where open. I rewatched our beat down of them this weekend and there were plenty of times where Reilly had options to go to, and he just wouldn't pull the trigger....then got sacked or had to rush a throw and it was inaccurate. There were also a good amount of drops.

But I think with a different QB that knows to go to the check down early and often or at least doesn't think homerun every time, and having an all star receiver group, that O can produce.

Oh forsure, it was bad. I just think Reilly did nothing to help the situation and likely made it worse.

You have a poor ol and never run the ball you end qbs careers. They spend more time looking for the guy coming to hit him and not the receivers.

You forgot Dominique Rhymes who must be over $150,000 as well, every team needs a solid 4th receiver. 🙄

BC re-signed him in Dec. to a two year deal, he's not going anywhere.

[bearpants]

These signing that are being announced... are they official yet or just negotiated? (Other than the re-signings)

yeah....they may have to cut him now though with what could be well over 600k in 3 receievers...I highly doubt they would want Ryhmes most likely 125k or so salary added to that...like .8 million bucks in 4 guys...all at the same position?...thats just idiotic
