DrRay11's "Fuck Yourself Forever" Mock

[DrRay11]

You don't deserve this.

Starting cap space: $23.5m

Release:
Jason Jones - guy is 30 years old, not going to get any better and was below average against the pass all year. Don't think he's as big a part of the run defense as people think. (+3.1m)

Reggie Bush - also getting to the downside of his career, the Lions need cap space and someone with better hands at this point to strengthen the game underneath (+1.5m)

Don Carey, Bill Bentley, Ryan Broyles (+2m)

Current cap space: $30.1m

Restructure:

Calvin Johnson, Glover Quin and Matthew Stafford do a simple re-structure of their contracts. Cap in 2016 is projected to be around $160m and adding $6m to the number for that year will not handicap the team. Cap will grow even more in 2017 and at that point doing something with CJ's contract will be an option. (+19.5m)

Current cap space: $49.6m

Franchise tag for Ndamukong Suh: (-26.7m)

Current cap space: $22.9m

What's Louis's take?

[Vinny]

What could we save letting Tulloch go? We need a CB no way Mathis can start another 16.

[Tahoe]

I'd say swat this shit.

What could we save letting Tulloch go? We need a CB no way Mathis can start another 16.

Quinten Rollins is a high potential guy who could take over some point mid season.

Tulloch would save us 3.4 million or so, I think. I'd be open to cutting him if we could sign a guy like Byron Maxwell, but it'd be contingent on getting a guy of his caliber.

Tahoe: if you don't want to root for the lions just pick your natural fudge pack brothers
