Za'Darius Smith would be perfect but there was a report last night that the Ravens and Commanders are trying to get him too (alongside us). Expect a bidding war. Worth noting we have less draft ammo than either team (for 2025).

Seeing how he moving out here and how his name is floating around for the spots he be at ain’t no white guy radio nothing. And it damn sure ain’t far fetched for a young dummy to be out here gettin high. Thinking he drunk a c4 and caused this is retarded.

Rumors and innuendo lol. Not fair to the guy, who has never been in trouble for any of the shyt that we would consider to actually be "bad." He got suspended two games. That should tell us he's not out here using steroids, which gets you a bigger suspension. Drugs get you more than two games as well. This could be something as simple as not completing the proper form at the proper time.

End of day there are more fair ways to knock him: specifically that this is once again another example of him doing dumb shyt that nobody else is doing. I don't think this is about character, it's about maturity and stupidity. This team is probably drafting an X receiver (Josh Reynolds/Tim Patrick type who runs the dig routes) next season. What does that do to his targets, in a contract year? I assume at this point Brad Holmes is just thinking fine we get the 5th year option and then let him walk unless he balls out. Just a weird position to potentially put yourself in when you could instead be marching towards 1000+ yards right now. Can he still get there even with the suspension? Sure. But with the way Ben Johnson sets this offense up, I'm not sure he can do it.

Gonna be hilarious if LaPorta doesn't get any major targets on Sunday despite Jamo being out.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Biology is very complex. Two substances mixed in the body could cause a positive for something else. I'm not going to make an excuse for h because I'm sure they have nutritionists up there but I personally don't even think this is a big deal. I believe it's an honest mistake.

That part.

I may be viewed as a Jamo hater but I’m not. My issue is at this point the Lions still have to put faith into him.

Who else are the lions doing this for? It seems they draft players who love football and are mature. He has the first part nailed but they have to hope the second part materializes.

I don’t think it’s hard to get a guy to play for us that fit the two requirements the lions look for.

I truly don’t understand what makes him so special.

There might be some Cooper Kupp whispers after this latest Jamo incident.
