Trade Rumor: Lions and Carolina

[H1Man]

You couldn't do it unless you drafted a franchis LT to replace him. Even then, Backus makes a lot for a guard. He'd be way overpaid there, even if he played well.

Backus is overpaid no matter where he plays or how well he plays.

True, but it's even worse when he's paid that amount as a guard. Thomas would make 2nd pick money, Woody is overpaid, Riola just got a raise not too long ago and if Scott panned out then he'd get paid too. That's fine if you have a pro bowl OL and run the ball like crazy. We have neither. You can find a solid OG in the 3rd round IMO.

That's why I like the idea of a trade too, Chris. I wonder if Ditka is going to get a job so the Lions can trade the #2 for all of his new teams picks like Miami did.
