That would be cool. Damn salary cap situation. Just puts more pressure on really nailing it in the draft since we can't really sign free agents.

Only $10M/season???

I'm sold, sign him up for at least 5 years!

, patience, I'm out taking advantage of the ice (fishing) while the lake is still frozen over, so I didn't get to it until this morning, ... I was reading, "only $10mil a season", "that would be cool", "Avril is at the right age and production level", "sign him up for 5yrs" and I'm sitting here thinking, "WTF!!! , am I wrong about Cliff Avril?". .

Touche', ... you guys had me going there for a minute, I think a "should we bring him in for a look" post would have put me over the edge, .

I think Avril played linebacker in college, so I'm sure he thinks he can do it, but there's a reason they converted him to DE in the pros ... maybe he can't cover, IDK. I just know he's asking for way more than he's worth, at any position.

Yeah, that's something you have to consider with any Detroit player given the locker room issues they've had the past few seasons, but I honestly don't think Avril was a big part of that. I think he's the kind of player that will blend into whatever locker room environment he's in, kind of like a chameleon ... now, if he only could truly play OLB at the NFL level, .
