Could we trade Pierre to the Lions?

No way in hell we are trading Pierre. Chris Ivory? Sure, just give us a nice draft pick.

A story on rotoworld mentioned ivory possible for the lions

I find it funny that there seems to be a consensus that good RB's can be found later in the draft, so its unwise to burn a high pick on one.

Yet no one wants to give up a good RB in Pierre Thomas for a 1st round pick?

That's a good point, Danno. Just look at our roster of RB's. Ingram is the only first-round pick. Sproles was taken in the 4th round by San Diego. The other three backs (PT, Ivory, and Cadet) were undrafted free agent signings. As I said in my first reply to this thread in agreement with you, I wouldn't give up PT for anything but a first round pick.

I just do not want to give up PT.

WIth Pierre, that would be giving up a proven for a possibility.

Pierre Thomas scratched, clawed, and fought his way onto this team. He EARNED that spot in the truest sense of the word.

If somebody wants to overpay/ overtrade (Is that even a word) then I say GREAT for him. He earned himself a contract, no doubt.

Would I be happy? HAIL no, but if somebody wants to throw a stack of cash at him I wouldn't blame him at all for going and getting it.

That said, the Lions and every other team that wants him can go piss up a rope as far as I'm concerned. LOVE watching that dude run, he's a beast

Wouldn't trade Ingram.
Even for a first,if you could guarantee it was a pick somewhere between 8-18 I guess Loomis would have to think about it but the Lions are likely to make the playoffs.
