Hey Lamar, you hear Detroit wants you?

Lions seem to be on the right track with building a good team. This would be about right for them to make a trade and screw all that up.

Lamar has officially asked for a trade because Ravens won't give him the contract the thinks he deserves. Next up we hear about NFL collusion because no one will give him the contract he thinks he deserves. Final step is to retire and claim racism as why he was colluded against because no one would pay him what he thinks he is worth.

Last year, Goff was by every statistical metric a top 6-7 QB in the league. He's 28 years old, is a former top pick, has 2 more years left on a wildly team friendly contract number by today's standards, and has an extremely limited injury history. It would be a monumental failure for them to move away from him.

If no team gives him the contract he wants, is it really that far-fetched of a scenario?

Don't see him retiring but the racism chants have already started.

Him personally? Not as of yet. But there have been several. Last week was Aaron Maybin.

Well, you do. It's why you're here posting replies.

If they find someone better, go for it. But don't do it by giving a massive contract plus high draft picks and players it would take to do so. Especially for someone who is only in it for themselves, like Lamar is. To just flat out quit on your team in the playoffs because you don't feel you are paid enough? Nah, GTFO with that stuff Lamar.

Very few are ever going to turn down money offered, so the big contracts I blame on the owners who can't help themselves. I don't blame Lamar for wanting all he can get. But when your demands aren't in line with what the market is offering, then reality has to set in. Lamar thinks he deserves the contract Watson got. I see his point. Doesn't mean that it will happen and also doesn't mean that if it doesn't happen then it is because anyone is colluding against him. Lamar did more to hurt his market with his antics to end last season than anyone else could possibly do.

There's a very, very short list of guys I'd go for if I'm Detroit just based on salary expectations and trade compensation, and basically all of them aren't available in a trade right now.

They have a great thing going with Goff at QB. They were a top 5 offense last year both in yards and PPG. Clearly the issue is defense, so why go out and address a position that isn't a problem by mortgaging the future? I could easily see them winning the division this season if they don't do something stupid.
