I’d Decker wants and can get $25mil I’m out on him too. I also don’t trust the NFL rumor mill because media people are very simple minded and assume because he was making. 21 with Detroit and refused to negotiate that automatically means he wants more. We simply don’t know. He might just want a Super Bowl ring. If he just wants a Superbowl ring, he must not believe in his current coach or teammates. I have a hard time digesting that. To cut bait after year one of losing your coordinator sounds weak as hell to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time digesting that. To cut bait after year one of losing your coordinator sounds weak as hell to me. That’s because it was weak. The new OC was demoted and removed from play calling which was taken over by the HC. I’m not the best at sorting out offensive play calling but there were a couple Detroit games where I couldn’t figure out what Campbell was trying to do on offense. Reminded me of Nagy where he was just calling something for the sake of calling it not because of anything he saw from the D that would give the play a chance to succeed. There is still a lot of talent there on offense and a good NFL QB is going to keep things “productive”. Since I don’t follow them closely I scanned some stats from last year and they fell back to middle of the pack in rushing while we improved to top 5. Passing they were still top 5. Regardless of where he ends up, Decker leaving them at least puts them in a similar spot we ended up in with Dalman retiring but at a more critical position. They will likely use their first pick on a LT. https://lionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2026/03/06/detroit-lions-injury-analysis-taylor-decker/88896657007/ https://lionswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2026/03/05/detroit-lions-jedrick-wills-free-agency-visit/89005932007/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 2 years they lost 3 out of 4, does he want to be the last man standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 22 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I saw where GB extended their center at 11 mil a year. He was 40th out of 40 in pass blocking grade. 5 penalties and 2 sacks with 27 hurries in 887 snaps. Poles got a great deal with Bradbury at 5.7 mil.

Stinger226 Posted 11 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Other than signing our own free agents, I don't see a lot of movement until the second wave kicks in. That's going to make some fans unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 10 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Demarco Jackson has been resigned. 7.5 mil with incentives up to 10.5 mil. 2 years. I assume they bring in a rookie to compete. May not be a top pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they bring in a rookie to compete. May not be a top pick. He played very solidly and is a DA guy. Also, a 2-yr deal for a max of $10M has minimal impact on the cap.

adam Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago So the Packers gave up: - 2025 1st Rd Pick - 2026 1st Rd Pick - Kenny Clark - Rashan Gary For: - Micah Parsons (who is now coming off an ACL tear) and a 2027 4th Rd Pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Linderbaum is off the table. To the Raiders. 3 years - 81 mil https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48154652/sources-raiders-tyler-linderbaum-reach-3-year-81m-deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago We were never in the running for the top C with the contracts they signed. 27 mil, 13 mil and 11 mil. Which makes it sound like a great deal at 5.7 for a starting center. It left us more money for the LB and S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Linderbaum is a serious stud. Maybe the best center I've ever seen, but $27M a year is a LOT. I'd have been in on a 4 year $80M deal, even that high hes worth it, but we cant outbid a team like the raiders who have lots of cap to spend, and want to give a rookie QB a real chance.

Stinger226 Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago For the 27 mil a year, we got Bush, Bryant, Galimore and Bradbury. Like you said we just didn't have the cap space to compete for Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan PHX Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago For what it's worth, Rich Eisen and others are reporting that we DID offer two firsts for Crosby, but the Raven's two firsts were better. I don't think we can assume that the Bears werent interested in signing Crosby or Linderbaum, but they had a price they wouldnt exceed and the market beat them.

Damn Courtney Cronin, she just lost any remaining respect I had for her. I don't know why, out of the blue she had to start mentioning that she would bet that the Bears will get comp picks, when no one else in the league or media did or said anything that would lead you to that conclusion.

adam Posted 49 minutes ago Report Share Posted 49 minutes ago Decker just officially got released. That move makes too much sense given his knowledge of the offense and Ben Johnson. If they can get Decker for a reasonable price, while Center got cheaper, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan PHX Posted 17 minutes ago Report Share Posted 17 minutes ago So I could be REALLY wrong about this, but I went to overthecap to look at Trent Williams' deal, and it's kind of shocking. *IF* the 49ers traded him to us, it looks like his cap number for us is ridiculously low. $4.7M for us this year, and $7.5M next year, because so much of his deal was guaranteed. 1) maybe I'm missing something major 2) SF would want something significant for him because theyre paying the bill for us. 3) Maybe he requires a new deal? Hard to say he was just the highest paid OL in the league when this deal got signed and there is more than one year left on it. 4) Maybe he wants a ring? Go here, and set for trade before June 1st, and you can see the cap savings, thats what we'd pay, and their dead money is what theyd have to pay. So for example, his cap number is $38M, and if they trade him, they have $34M of dead cap, and savings around $4M, which is what we'd have to pay. Now I dont get why overthecap is scoring it like this. This all includes $12M in roster bonuses ($750k per game) and there's a salary of $22M that's $34 of the $38, but overthecap clearly calculates that all as guaranteed, staying with SF. Interesting. https://overthecap.com/player/trent-williams/1466 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
