Brandon Flowers released by chiefs. Please some to the lions. He knows how to ball hawk and could teach our young guys some lessons.

If suh is the closest to a leader we have we are definitely screwed. I at least see Stafford hyping up the team when he can. Before it was always burleson and Delmas

Ebron inked!



Article says we must have restructured something though in order for this to be possible--and as of yet whatever was restructured is unknown?

I dunno about Stafford but yeah they were the 2 before that. And VandenBosch... but none of them on the team anymore

I'm assuming if a deal had to be restructured just to fit in a last rookie deal, there's not exactly money laying around for Flowers.

he just doesn't make some of these throws anymore..

Crazy man, feels like all he does now is side arm

Lmfao so true

The biggest thing I noticed was his hustle in the pocket. If you look at that tape compared to last season he's constantly scrambling in the pocket almost in a sense of panic. His newer tape he is more relaxed and not moving around.

On CBs:

Will the lions sign a vet CB to replace Houston or go with what they have? Mike Myers (@lionsfan47)
20man: The hot name out there right now, Mike, is Brandon Flowers, who was released by Kansas City the same day the Lions cut ties with Houston.
Flowers is a smaller guy (5-foot-9) and struggled in a man-cover scheme last year with a career-low one interception.
He is a veteran, however, and does have 17 career interceptions, which is why the Lions have probably poked around a bit. He’s not a guy that would come in and transform their secondary, though.
The Lions’ ultimate level of interest in Flowers will likely come down to his contract demands. His last contract was for five years and worth $50 million, so he’s not coming cheap and the Lions aren’t in a position where they’re going to overspend.
Also, the Lions like what they’ve seen from Slay, Rashean Mathis and Bill Bentley – their top three cornerbacks – this offseason.
Beyond Flowers, I don’t see a ton of help out there that would be better options than Slay, Mathis, Bentley, Cassius Vaughn and Nevin Lawson.

If he can stay healthy, can Chris Greenwood contend for the starting CB spot opposite of Darius Slay? Garrett Elliott (@BigRed6810)
20man: That’s a really big if, Garrett.
Availability is just as import as ability in this league. No one questions Greenwood has ability, but if he’s not consistently on the field to show it, coaches have no choice but to look elsewhere.
Greenwood showed some promise when he got a chance to play last year, but he needs experience. He needs practice experience and game action. I think it would be very tough for him to pass Slay or Mathis in the starting lineup at this point, but he can be a role player and contributor on special teams if he stays healthy all of training camp and continues to progress.

Who are 2-3 breakout opportunity players and why/how do you think they can make an impact? Dixon (@dixonandr3w)
20man:
1. CB, Darius Slay: With Chris Houston now gone, Slay enters training camp as the No. 1 cornerback on the roster. He had a terrific offseason and his skillset seems to really fit Teryl Austin’s man-cover scheme. He’s big, fast and growing more confident in his abilities daily.
