I think we need to keep Bodden. He could be fine in the correct system (supposedly he's a lot better in man to man). Kelly is supposed to be a cover 2 guy so he has no excuse.Quote:

On defense I'd hang on to Sims, Dizon, D. White, Redding, Bodden, Alexander, Bullocks, Avril, Fluellen, Ikaika (just for potential's sake).
Everybody else can be thrown in the dumpsters out back.
I'm not completely against keeping Bodden, but we need to be honest here. We're 3+ years away if we're lucky. Anyone over 27 should be fair game. I'm not looking for players that will help us win 8 games in the next few years, I'm looking for parts of an eventual division winner.
Well then you're obviously not looking at anyone on the Lions.Quote:

Updating a previous report, Dave Birkett of the Oakland Press writes that Detroit officials decided to place quarterback Jon Kitna on injured reserve Tuesday morning.
The Lions apparently were keeping open the option of trading Kitna; his undisclosed back injury isn't serious enough to sideline him for the season. But Kitna will need more rest before he's ready to play again, and the Lions must not want to hold open his roster spot in an uncertain timetable.
Dan Orlovsky will continue starting in Kitna's place. It will be interesting to see if the Lions give in and eventually work No. 3 quarterback Drew Stanton into the mix.
I don't see why they wouldn't wait until 4 PM, unless they need the roster spot to make a deal right now. killer says the 49ers were interested.

The Lions say they don't plan to trade anyone -- including wide receiver Roy Williams -- before the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. today.
