Lions GM Scenario

I think the Rams had an easy fix. I think a few elite offensive weapons and I think they got something there. As for Detroit, don't like their secondary at all. The little dutch boy Rashean Mathis will be gone and I'm not a fan of Chris Houston. Very overrated. I would like to see them go after a nice UFA CB like a Vontae Davis to solidify that secondary. Their LB's have improved as I've always seen that as a weakness of this team. Been pleasantly surprised by play of Tulloch and Levy. Of the two, Levy is the guy I want and would prefer an upgrade over Tulloch.

The first priority of Detroit this offseason now that they got their head coach is to do something with Ndamukong Suh's contract. You can't pay any player, even a franchise QB, 22.4M as a cap hit in 2014. They could knock 10M off that number with an extension or a restructure.

Nate Burleson should be cut. Saves 5.5M. Plenty o good WRs this draft for the Lions to take in round one hehe. Imagine a Kelvin Benjamin or a Sammy Watkins playing with Calvin. Yikes! They should be able to get one of them without having to trade up.

Another guy I'd love to see on that Detroit defense is Michael Johnson DE. The Lions have three 1st rd pick DL and if you add this guy to the mix watch out. Problem is he might be the most expensive UFA this year so Detroit would have some spring cleaning to do to be able to make a move like this.

Maybe go after Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie as well. A cheaper alternative to Vontae Davis. Personally, I'd take them both. Should be able to get them both for under 10M combined cap hit in 2014. They also need an upgrade at the OLB position over Ashlee Palmer. Who the hell is that? Exactly.

Lions are currently 5M over the cap in 2014.
