Only the fukking Lions.

It's official tate tweeting about it now.
5 years 31 mill 13 mill guaranteed.

Hopefully this means defense in the first few rds

what's the consensus on this one folks?

Certainly fills a need. Maybe a little overpaid, but he's a lot better than what the Lions had.

Has to be. If they take Ebron at 10, I'm not paying attention to them until the season starts.

I like Tate, I think he can be a good receiver on slants and curls to move the chains.

A little bit of an overpay, but you now have a surefire #2 receiver to put next to Calvin. This is basically what Burleson was supposed to be, but Tate has more years left in him, so I think this can work out.

It's better than Kris fukking Durham, that's for sure.

Is tate a bonafied #2? Well they have no choice now. I forgot Broyles even existed.


At least they're drafting D with #10

I like Broyles, but he's basically Mr. Glass. I would still get a receiver in the draft, but now I can just wait till the later rounds and go defense heavy (hopefully).

Fills a need but it doesn't matter if they signed jerry rice. If stafford gonna play like a bytch they won't be making any real noise.

Yup, and getting 2 out of a handful of the young corners to get going. Hopefully these coaches get it right.

 

[Detroit Wave]

i hope the tate signing means we draft defense with the 10th pick.

Do we realize that everybody hollering that the lions need receivers, but they had the #3 passing offense in the league.

And 18th in passer rating; 24th in completion percentage.

Watkins is the only WR I would have wanted them to consider with that 10th pick. With the Tate signing, there shouldn't be any offensive players on their board in the first round (or second). Dennard would be my guy, but we'll see what these clowns decide with their BPA approach.

Problem wasn't the receivers it was the qb.

Biggest need on this team is pass rush and safety.

Lions either led or were close to leading the league in dropped passes. Lost a couple of games because of it Stafford has issues for sure but that's not the entire story
