With the NFL news slowing to little more than a trickle, there's only one question for the congregation from Joshua, aka DetFan79, of Roar of the Lions.
1. David, John M., and Abdi V. all have variations of the following question: Which remaining free agents could be potential targets for the Lions? Is there anyone out there that seems like a good option, or is rumored to be heading to Detroit?
Personally, I thought the one player still available who could help was Adam "Pacman" Jones, as the Lions are as deep as a puddle of rain at cornerback. Obviously, the Lions felt differently as the Bengals signed "Mr. Makin' It Rain" to a two year deal.
So I think the Lions should look at Jamarcus Russ...No, I wouldn't even joke about that.
We all know the Lions need help in defensive backfield. They know it too, which is why they are hosting former Giants safety C.C. Brown this week. He's just like the corners signed earlier in free agency, Chris Houston or Johnathan Wade. Former starters who were thought to not be good enough by their former teams.
At this point of the off season, players of that ilk are all you are going to find. They're too old, not good enough, or some combination thereof. So there's very few players on the market who could help the Lions...save for one.
Keith Bulluck.
I know he's the obvious answer, but Bulluck is also the best answer.
He knows Jim Schwartz's system, should have a couple of decent years left and the Lions have a huge need at linebacker. Bulluck is more than worth a flier.
Other than the obvious signing of Bulluck, I'm thinking the Lions are lying in wait. They'll hold off till they get closer to training camp, or even in midst of camp, and then sign a veteran given his walking papers by the Turk. For that matter, a player like Bullock may want to wait until camp is well underway before signing, if only to avoid two-a-days.
If you have a Lions question you'd like to see answered, you can email the congregation at lionscongregation@yahoo.com.
As always, to read the rest of the Lions blogosphere answering DetFan79's questions, head over to Roar of the Lions every Friday on Monday for one week only!
