Thread: F.A. WR's and Mankins

Wouldn't fit is not the best choice of words. Not needed or wasted would be better. He's a very talented guy but he's also going to be very very expensive and not necessary for a team that plays mostly zone defense. As badly as the Lions need him even they dropped out of contention when the heard the price tag.

If we have to get out the checkbook to keep him away from them ... then lets get out the checkbook.

If he signs somewhere out of the NFC North ... then problem solved ... lets hope he does.

Lets also remember what a lineup of Peppers ... Paea ... Urlacher ...Briggs ... Peanut ... Asomugha ...

could look like.

WOW!

Jackie, GB already has very good corners and really doesn't need him. especially not at his price. They haven't got the cap room for him. Detroit has already opted out of the chase too. As badly as they could use him they can't pay his price. I just don't see him in the NFCN period.

I think you can look to one of the teams in the NFCE, either Philly or Washington. Snyder has the kind of deep pockets to attract him and a history of trying to buy championships with guys like Asomugha. Shanahan would love to have another great cover guy in his defense just like he did when the Broncos traded for Champ Bailey. I'm betting that's where he ends up.
