With all of these contracts coming up, who can say who will stay and who will leave. There may be players willing to take less just to win more Superbowls. Remember, Tom Brady constantly gave the Patriots a hometown discount so that the team wouldn't be hamstrung by 1 contract. That was part of the culture there, and, hopefully, becomes part of the culture here.
Experts consider this a really good DE class. I like Burch from Oregon for the Lions. Giving up valuable draft capital for what's left of Crosby or Garrett is not the smart move.
Sorry man, we're not going have to defensive lineman making almost 30 million a year, it's just not feasible. The draft is where we find a diamond in the rough.
I like Landon Jackson coming up in the draft, we should stick with our players and keep building from there, no need to destroy our mortgage for one player
@danBrown-v8v I just looked it up. 2025- $18.7 million 2026- 25.0 million All guaranteed money is paid. We could trade for then resign for an extra year avg it out for about $17-18/yr, guarantee him $20 million to resign.
Defensive stats since you like numbers 1. 7th in scoring defense 2. 11th in turns overs 3. 1st in 3rd down efficiency 4. 2nd in 4th down efficiency 1. Both our starting DEs from the start of season have been out most of the season 2. We have 4-5 other guys on IR who were/would be contributors 3. Have you considered that Hutchs sack production was directly related to having Reader and Alim in the middle? From what I recall before the season started everyone was talking about how having those guys in the middle would help his sack total. 4. Have you considered that with the injuries we’ve had at LB has impacted our sack production? Bottom line the defense has been very good considering our injuries. There’s no need to trade for either of those guys.
anyone saying we don't need a pass rush is braindead, do we need maxx or myles? Idk abt that. But we definitely need improvement in our passrush. It's the reason we lost to the bills, and if we do end up losing this years superbowl, i promise you it will be because of the passrush.
All 💙 you, my vet bro Mike and others all have good channels...and not just when we're winning. Keep pushing and improving just like the lions organization...but remember to give criticism it's due.
doubt it, that would probably put us over cap. 2026 and 2027 is when the bulk of everyones deals that we signed hit hard. we'll most likely draft an edge
I am always on the side of more pass rush. Garrett or Crosby still sound like a pipe dream in my opinion, so maybe we could get a Trey Hendrickson. As far as re-signing our guys, (Iffy, Levi O, Barnes, Hutch, Jamo) we are getting to the point where we will not be able to get them all. I trust Holmes to work his magic and keep who we can, but we will start to see players we like leave because everyone will be clamoring for a piece of the Lions’ success.
yo my honest opinion even tho i like the idea of getting one of those players but i say we stay young, draft, and train. We have been doing a great job at building the young into very well trained top tier players. Jamo, Gibbs, St.Brown, Hutch, Tarrion, Kerb, and ect. id we do get one of those other players i rather take the chance at free agency.
The pass rush thing is pretty subjective. It's absolutely needed against elite mobile QB's. But its really on a team by team basis and the opponent they face. And on the "Dynasty" thing?... That is going to be tough even if we get one, because everyone is working overtime to poach our coaches. Real dynasty's like KC don't let their coaches get poached. Just sayin. Plus, I believe that Ben J wont make for a good HEAD coach. His niche is playcaller. AG MAY make a decent coach but it will take him a few years.
I would say the offense isn't the only reason we made the playoffs, the fact that our defense forced enough turnovers to give the team a turnover differential in the top 10 and it's top 10 in the league in points allowed as well! That's not bad for having as many players on IR as they have on that side of the ball!
Syndicate is obviously running out of things to talk about. This take is silly and delusional. Brad has been smart with the salary cap to do something this dumb.
Check out Landon Jackson from Arkansas. He is projected to go 31st or 32nd in the draft. He’s 6’7 280 and looks and plays like a beast. I do not believe Brad Holmes will pay for a Garrett or Crosby contract. Brad will build from the draft.
We need to resign iffy and Barnes for depth because of injures look how great both were playing when healthy last year if you’ve been paying attention not just this year you should know that
A true ferocious DE is Hutch. Yea we need some depth. But when Hutch and Mac come back, ZD will have more production. Yes, we need depth but we have an elite pass rusher in Hutch. Crosby or Garret isn’t going to be necessary come next season.
Derrick we draft so well why not let Brad find an edge rusher and an interior defensive lineman with our first two picks. We need to pay Unzrike and Kerby this offseason
If either one is willing to play without a new contract, knowing, they will likely not be resigning with Detroit... go for it. But that's the only way. Can't afford to pay top 5 money to two DEs within one year of each other, and Hutch will reset the market. BTW, is it fair to assume the Lions would have netted +10 more sacks if Hutch played the full year? If so, that would have been 47 sacks, good for 6th in the league. So yes, add talent, but not at teh cost of not retaining our existing top talent.
Myles or Cosby will give us the best D in Football. But that will cost us 25 mill in salary cap an 2 first round picks. Better off drafting the best DE. Available in draft
That's what I'm saying. We are good as it stands on pass rush. We're going to get in the cycle of having too many for that position because we were short for a season. We are good as it is for 2025
Another thing sacks don’t count on the score board and don’t equate to wins. With as many sacks as Garrett, Crosby, and Hendricksons have their season is over
If the Lions trade for one, it will probably Crosby. The Raiders have an out after 2024, all of his guaranteed money is gone. The Raiders would save 37 million on the cap in 25 and 26 if they trade him before June 1
Love your content but calling other creators stupid is a turn off. Just keep receipts and in the end let us decide to see who the real deal is. Keep up the great work.
I hate it when you talk about this crap because you normally great takes fly out the window. We lost 3 of our 4 defensive line starters. We never got a chance to see them work together. Please give it a rest.
You have Hutch, Smith and then draft the highest rated DE with the first pick. Too much money for these players you want to trade for although I'd love to have either one. Lions will also have McNeil back.
Crazy predictions...not going to happen. Are you click bait? Cmon man. Always enjoy your info....but this is Crazy!!!! Not Brad Holmes, not close to anything real.
Raiders fan here I don't want to trade Maxx but it seems the Raiders in a total rebuild. Maxx won't be cheap I can see at least two first round picks or a first and Jameson Williams 👀 The Loins first round is at the back of the draft Maxx is worth more then that .Ben Johnson make It happened hopefully 🙏
I thought we did sack Pat maybe I'm wrong. We sure did upset him though. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Mahomes face when things aren't going his way.
i doubt they make any major trades. their guys they have signed have backloaded contracts. so in 2028 they will have cap hot of 100 mil for sewell, goff, saint and alim. that doesn't even count what Hutch gets. I see them looking at an edge in the 2025 draft. there are several available in the fitrst 2 rounds.
I told everyone the secondary will look the same in the rankings if we don’t get home with the rush. That fool you used to mess with tried belittling be over this topic, now dude won’t even just admit he was wrong and I was right.
If we sign Fromm and offer Goff for Crosby in a trade, we may get lucky. Goff is too expensive & not productive enough. Fromm & Hooker would make a good pair
I am always on the side of more pass rush. Garrett or Crosby still sound like a pipe dream in my opinion, so maybe we could get a Trey Hendrickson. As far as re-signing our guys, (Iffy, Levi O, Barnes, Hutch, Jamo) we are getting to the point where we will not be able to get them all. I trust Holmes to work his magic and keep who we can, but we will start to see players we like leave because everyone will be clamoring for a piece of the Lions’ success.
The nfl draft is super deep with pass rushers. I don’t see them trading for a big time pass rusher
Maxx Crosby for Hutchinson because he could have playing Time and making debut for Detroit Lions To make super bowl champions
That's not being fair to Zdarius. Him and Hutch will be a really great combo.
With all of these contracts coming up, who can say who will stay and who will leave. There may be players willing to take less just to win more Superbowls. Remember, Tom Brady constantly gave the Patriots a hometown discount so that the team wouldn't be hamstrung by 1 contract. That was part of the culture there, and, hopefully, becomes part of the culture here.
Good point!!!
We don't need the pass rush. We will have Z and Hutch. We good.
We need to draft somebody
Im riding with whatever Brad does he has been drafting great and developing players great and been bringing in guys that contribute to team
If we trade for max Crosby we’re gonna have to pay him and hutch 30 million per year it’s a pipe dream
You can find stats to back up any opinion.
Only 1 stat really matters. Wins.
factss
Experts consider this a really good DE class. I like Burch from Oregon for the Lions. Giving up valuable draft capital for what's left of Crosby or Garrett is not the smart move.
Bring one of them here in the offseason!
Sorry man, we're not going have to defensive lineman making almost 30 million a year, it's just not feasible. The draft is where we find a diamond in the rough.
I like Landon Jackson coming up in the draft, we should stick with our players and keep building from there, no need to destroy our mortgage for one player
There will NOT be 2 30+ million guys on the DL
Myles contract is for another 2 yrs I believe and he is team friendly @ about $18/yr avg. He's gonna be 32 at the end of his contract.
Already gonna be
@@darrenhill5070I believe they restructured and it’s really bad. They had to do something to deal with Watsons deal.
@danBrown-v8v I just looked it up. 2025- $18.7 million
2026- 25.0 million
All guaranteed money is paid. We could trade for then resign for an extra year avg it out for about $17-18/yr, guarantee him $20 million to resign.

I think at this point they'll just draft EDGE high and develop

You are so right about needing a good pass rush
Check out Landon Jackson from Arkansas. He is projected to go 31st or 32nd in the draft. He’s 6’7 280 and looks and plays like a beast. I do not believe Brad Holmes will pay for a Garrett or Crosby contract. Brad will build from the draft.
👎🏿👎🏿 This will destroy our salary cap when we still need to resign Hutch, Kerby, and replace Barnes, Levi and iffy
Who’s making 30 million
We need to resign iffy and Barnes for depth because of injures look how great both were playing when healthy last year if you’ve been paying attention not just this year you should know that
@@eyeciitm1884 who are you talking to?
Plus we need that big line backer besides Barnes there’s no big backer that we have
@@LionsFanSyndicate Hutch once we resign him. And crosby and Garrett already there
Let’s just be optimistic and say we are getting both in 2025. Put Hutch at LB with Jack and Anz
Give Broderick Martin his third year before proclaiming him a bust
Sometimes it's just Heart, but I digress.
A true ferocious DE is Hutch. Yea we need some depth. But when Hutch and Mac come back, ZD will have more production. Yes, we need depth but we have an elite pass rusher in Hutch. Crosby or Garret isn’t going to be necessary come next season.
Derrick we draft so well why not let Brad find an edge rusher and an interior defensive lineman with our first two picks. We need to pay Unzrike and Kerby this offseason
I wholeheartedly agree, Derrick. The pass will be addressed before next season
It's already addressed. Hutch cones back and we have Z
I would love to see it!
If the Raiders are smart they will def trade Crosby for draft capital to kick off their rebuild.
If the lions didn’t have the #1 offense…
News flash…they do
FWIW our defense caused Josh Allen to have an intentional grounding
Great take and excellent way to back it up with statistics, D💪🏽💯
If either one is willing to play without a new contract, knowing, they will likely not be resigning with Detroit... go for it. But that's the only way. Can't afford to pay top 5 money to two DEs within one year of each other, and Hutch will reset the market.

As much as I would love to see this happen I don't think it would happen appreciate the video though Derrick
Myles or Cosby will give us the best D in Football. But that will cost us 25 mill in salary cap an 2 first round picks. Better off drafting the best DE. Available in draft
Sacks are not everything..... pressures and qb hits matter to quarterbacks mental
Brad Holmes says you'll get Davenport again and like it.
lol!!!!!!!!!
I feel like a healthy Aiden, McNeil along with Smith and hit on a good rookie or two will he enough
Tragic
@@thefragrancekickback3603 agreed
of course we do.
So, we'll have Hutch, Smith and Crosby?
That's what I'm saying. We are good as it stands on pass rush. We're going to get in the cycle of having too many for that position because we were short for a season. We are good as it is for 2025
Another thing sacks don’t count on the score board and don’t equate to wins. With as many sacks as Garrett, Crosby, and Hendricksons have their season is over
they are on bad teams and of course it matters
Honestly I think Brad is gonna draft a sleeper DE. Like a George Karlaftis for Chris Jones and the chiefs.
If the Lions trade for one, it will probably Crosby. The Raiders have an out after 2024, all of his guaranteed money is gone. The Raiders would save 37 million on the cap in 25 and 26 if they trade him before June 1
Love your content but calling other creators stupid is a turn off. Just keep receipts and in the end let us decide to see who the real deal is. Keep up the great work.
a lot of other lions creators are stupid lmao
Why you be hating on jamo saying you not sure lions should resign him
The lions would be better off signing cheap and affordable players on expirating deals.
The video we need
I hate it when you talk about this crap because you normally great takes fly out the window. We lost 3 of our 4 defensive line starters. We never got a chance to see them work together. Please give it a rest.
I wish but Crosby or Garret ain’t comin!
Bro if I hear pass. Rush one more time
I agree that this is what the Lions should do. Will they? I don't know. I am not too optimistic.
We will not trade for any d linemen let alone 1 of these 2 guys. They are both great players but their price will be to high.
You have Hutch, Smith and then draft the highest rated DE with the first pick. Too much money for these players you want to trade for although I'd love to have either one. Lions will also have McNeil back.
Love your vids,can you please do a vid on the jalen ramsey situation
Which is?
Not going to happen....Holmes will stick to his draft.
this is not happening crosby is a top 5-7 DL too much money between him and hutch.
Think I know who you mean by the person with idiotic comments on a pass rusher it drives me crazy! Ray Charles could see that's what we lack!!
Best pick ever for Brad Holmes is pulling Sun God in the 4th rd. Too easy to get talent in 1st rd.
Crazy predictions...not going to happen. Are you click bait? Cmon man. Always enjoy your info....but this is Crazy!!!! Not Brad Holmes, not close to anything real.
Hes saying we need to address the pass rush, are you dumb?
Raiders fan here I don't want to trade Maxx but it seems the Raiders in a total rebuild. Maxx won't be cheap I can see at least two first round picks or a first and Jameson Williams 👀 The Loins first round is at the back of the draft Maxx is worth more then that .Ben Johnson make It happened hopefully 🙏
I thought we did sack Pat maybe I'm wrong. We sure did upset him though. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Mahomes face when things aren't going his way.
Don't forget about lb

Less sacks than last year. 25 sacks
I told everyone the secondary will look the same in the rankings if we don’t get home with the rush.
That fool you used to mess with tried belittling be over this topic, now dude won’t even just admit he was wrong and I was right.
Too expensive. We got lots of folks to sign. Let's see how Hutch and Z do together before we break the bank.
Jumped off at 1:40. Tired of these type of videos. We should get this guy, we should get that guy.
Rank 18 they have 12 more
I don’t think so.
If we sign Fromm and offer Goff for Crosby in a trade, we may get lucky.
Goff is too expensive & not productive enough. Fromm & Hooker would make a good pair
We are17
Chiefs picked up max that's what I heard
35sack
Pass rush is overrated😂
😂😂
Trade for Maxx Crosby for Hutchinson
That's crazy AF!
Holmes will never do it. You know as well as i do, he will draft whay he feels is a weak spot
I am always on the side of more pass rush. Garrett or Crosby still sound like a pipe dream in my opinion, so maybe we could get a Trey Hendrickson.
As far as re-signing our guys, (Iffy, Levi O, Barnes, Hutch, Jamo) we are getting to the point where we will not be able to get them all.
I trust Holmes to work his magic and keep who we can, but we will start to see players we like leave because everyone will be clamoring for a piece of the Lions’ success.
