 It is still an uphill climb (possibly scaling a cliff), but the Riley signing is the best they could have possibly done for fan attention outside of a well known NFL name. Riley is one of the best in the league, well known, and is "ours" in that he started his career here.

I don't suppose the lions could afford to add Bryant MItchell if he was available?

I don’t know but the Esks probably have a greater need and can better afford him. They have Greg Ellingson, DaVaris Daniels and a bunch of guys who were on the Lions roster last year.

If we could get Mitchell signed, it would be huge. He was signed by Hervey in Edmonton and played with Reilly, so B.C. would be an attractive option for Mitchell.

But do we have the money or could we find the money in some way?

No. Reilly's contract takes up 17% of the cap. It is unlikely Lions have enough money to sign anymore free agents. Rest of roster signings I expect to be rookies. I also expect more vets to be cut in training camp and after. Time will tell if Lions gamble of spending 17% of their cap on a QB will pay off. Better hope he stays healthy.
