Is it possible Daniel Joseph is factoring into the Baron decision ? Big surprise with Mauger
Yes, I missed Joseph in my post about the Lions’ great depth on the D-line.

Re: Thoughts on getting Stanback?

Stanback showed in the Grey Cup that he still has great speed. VA respects him as a vet who knows what to do and where to be. Most importantly, he has the power to pick up tough yards after contact. At 185 pounds, Mizzell is too light to be an every-down back. Stanback is listed at 233, which is the...

Re: Woody Baron & Quincy Mauger released

Lee, Edwards-Cooper and Mauger were the best tacklers in the secondary. It's hard to believe the Lions could start the season without any of them. Mauger lost his safety position to Adrian Greene for part of last season, seeing rotational duty with Manny Rugamba at SAM and dime back. I'm not sure wh...

Re: Woody Baron released

The Lions are stacked inside. Stove Richardson, who was expected to line up beside Baron in 2022, should finally make his debut this year. The Lions also have Tibo Debaillie, Josh Banks, Nathan Cherry, Francis Bemiy and rookie Jonah Tavai, younger (and bigger) brother of former Lion J.R. Tavai.

Re: Woody Baron released

Have to admit I didn't see this one coming. By all accounts had a very solid season. Due a $30,000 bonus on Feb. 14. What are the Lions thinking here? Maybe better run defence options with stop gap vets Sewell or Micah Johnson? https://3downnation.com/2024/02/09/b-c-lions-release-veteran-dl-woody-b...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Thinking he stays in Edmonton but A.C. Leonard might also be the consolation prize to whichever team loses out on Betts. Could also be just waiting to hear a number before finalizing his deal. One of the bigger pieces out there imo and love him as an offensive weapon. I'd be temped to give him a sh...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Shiltz has a chance to be QB1A in Calgary, so I understand his decision. The bright side is that he might leave a bit more money on the table for the Lions to retain Betts and Edwards-Cooper.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

This from 3D Nation in the article on Edwards-Cooper agreeing to terms with the Riders: "Pending free agents can negotiate with teams across the league during the current window, which closes on Feb. 11. Players can agree to terms on a contract with a particular team for 2024, however, these d...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Whoa! According to Farhan the Lions offered Oliveira a three-year escalating deal starting at $250,000 and it took Bombers president Wade Miller’s involvement to ultimately keep him in Winnipeg. That must have been money allocated for Betts right? Gotta think so. Can't imagine them being able to ke...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

We have reportedly loss our first free agent. Good for Jalen as I don't think the Lions were going to match that number. Dan Ralph CP: Wow, now hearing that DB Jalon Edwards-Cooper has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with Saskatchewan worth $128,000 in hard money. That makes him one of the h...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

If the Lions lost a bidding war for Oliveira, they should have more money in the pot to retain their own FAs. I doubt that Stanback cost more than $125,000. That seems to be the going rate for established American RBs.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Keep in mind that players can't officially accept any offers except from their own club during the communication window. Beginning Feb. 11, teams have 48 hours to review all offers made to their pending free agents and to make their own offers. The earliest a player can accept any offer from another...
