Tracking former Lions

[dwt1]

Fair enough, but for the record. Wagner is a carbon copy of Rieff.

[Malto Marko]

That's OK because we have a LT and will not have to pay a RT, LT money.

But they also had a right tackle who can play left tackle, you think that might have come in handy this year?

[Malto Marko]

Indeed I do.

Edit: But I would not have been happy paying him LT money to play RT.

Deckers injury was unexpected and just another in a string of off season injuries that seem to be a trademark of the Lions.

He's (Wagner) not very far off, in fact he's about at the median of LT pay, which is about nearly 3 million more than most of the top 10 RT's.

.....are you sayin we are still payin a RT LT money?

Yes.

To be fair, I think Reiff wanted to *play* LT not just get LT money at RT. So it probably never was in the cards for him to stick with the Lions after Decker was drafted and placed at LT.

[Malto Marko]

F**k!

Stupid continues in the FO.

[dwt1]

And without the depth of somebody who can play both

[Malto Marko]

Not a good look.

Entirely possible Reiff would not sign if he knew he'd be a RT. Reiff also could have gotten injured as easily as anyone else on the line.

[Malto Marko]

....but, has he beaten a winning team?

[dpatnod]

Not when he's saddled with Middling Mulbach.

You were doing okay until the second sentence. This is NFL football, anybody an get hurt, it’s the nature of the game. You don’t make management decision based on the fact somebody could get hurt.

Hey when you have Mediocre Matty, your long snapper is a key player. Seven punts in the last game against Minny
