Off topic: NFL free agency gone wild!

Bradford to Eagles
Foles to the Jets
Ngata to the Lions for a 4th and 5th round pick
Gore to Indy
Graham to Seattle for Unger
Durant and Reed to Falcons
Iupati to the Cardinals

Everyone is getting in on the action. How about that Ngata deal? That's a bargain.

Lions already had a beast D line, it just got much better!

That's about right. I thought he would be an impact NFL QB, but goes to show how few really ever cut the mustard.

I liked Locker too. I even thought we could bring him in as a backup and maybe become heir apparent. He has a good arm and can run, just couldn't stay healthy.

Not NGATA's contract....bad deal.

Don't forget the Suh deal (which may be under investigation by the NFL for violating some kind of tampering restriction,

) and possibly the soon-to-be Nick Fairley deal ... this has been one of the most active/exciting FA periods I can ever remember! The Nick Foles/Sam Bradford swap is kinda' intriguing, Graham to Seattle was certainly a shocker ...

Yep, they pretty much screwed-the-pooch all along with Suh's contracts/restructurings, et ... there's something like $9.7mil in dead money vs the cap and when you add that to the Ngata deal, it basically equals Miami's deal for Suh ... meh, really not surprising when you consider Mayhew (Lions GM) was Matt Millen's "right hand man",

... at least they got a decent replacement for N-drama-gone,
