Cleveland rebuilt with no assets and it only took 3 years. I mean we literally cut our best player in Haden and watched him walk over to a divisional rival and ball out. It’s going to suck really badly for a couple years watching your team win 2-3 games, but the payoff is well worth it.


Cle has been rebuilding since the early 2000s.

Lions are set up great for a rebuild, they even have a QB fans can get semi excited about . Trust me man, with that amount of draft Capitol and no expectations they will make massive strides after a couple years. Having an above average qb and a shit roster gets u caught in purgatory. Lions should’ve made this move a few years ago.


Good take. This was a great trade for the Lions. Their outlook a few years down the road is solid and they should be decently entertaining even as they build

Yep. Goff may not be the starter you want but he's a decent bridge guy. They can easily build a solid squad in 2-3 years and if Goff is just mediocre draft a QB. By that time Rodgers will probably be on the decline and I really think the NFC north door will be wide open for any team.

I think this move is infinitely less risky for the lions. They weren't going anywhere anyway. Why waste Stafford's career just to go 6-10 again when you know you'll be shitty at least you can have some top pics to rebuild.

Gonna get waddle or smith. Our offensive is gonna be better I think because our running game will be even more matured and healthy. Wish a.p didnt get iin the way of us seeing what bo scarbough was about i liked him. He aslo took some of kerryons snaps. I wont hate if they get a haul for golladay but only for picks this year .

Defensively jamie collins restructured to help save some.
Glad there moving on from trufant. Long as we find someone from f/a
Hope Jarrad Davis and Reggie Ragland stay together those are some meaty men who can thump cook and Montgomery and well Jones if he comes back or Dillion when he starts
Defensive Line needs to be able to get to the Q.B So keep Okwara or hopefully they can find a d.line that plays with his ability/energy

Really Like Prater,so resign him asap. hes gifted and likeable, could be a good at commentary later

kinda interesting feeling to see a true rebuild. Seems like in prior times when Lions should have rebuilt--they've also at the same time made "win now" moves.


This rebuild feels different. Letting Golladay walk is bittersweet.
