Jamall Lee staying in the NFL if he can.....

The roster opening would have been perfectly suited for Jamall Lee, in the opinion of Lions coach Wally Buono.

Instead, the new face Tuesday was import linebacker Shane Simmons.

Running a CFL team means being flexible. It sure doesn't mean you automatically get your Canadian college draft picks every year.

Lee, the Port Coquitlam runner who was cut on the weekend by the Carolina Panthers, has rejected a contract offer by the Lions, according to Buono, who implied the 22-year-old wants to pursue an NFL practice-roster spot that would earn him twice as much as he would make as a three-down rookie.

He must have been pretty lousy in camp for us not to offer him a PS spot.

He was.

I almost hate to say that, as I was so excited to see what he'd do. He was my "dark horse," if you will.

But he played horribly in camp and the preseason. Were we to keep any back on the practice squad, it would have been Birmingham, who clearly outplayed Lee (but then again Birmingham wasn't eligible, was he?).

birmingham was IR'ed.

lee fumbled a lot. there just wasn't enough going on that would make him stand out other than his speed, size, and dropping a lot of balls. you need a lot more than that.

i don't think his college playing prepared him for the NFL. you watch those highlights of him again and it looks like he was playing against high school kids.

if he wants to play ball he's going to have to do it in the CFL. maybe he could make his mark in arena football or with the UFL?

he's just not pro football material anymore than eric shelton was, imo.

      Has Cade Mays proved to be our starting center, or do we look for another?

      Corbett knows he needs to take a prove it deal and I think he will.  I watched an interview and he was convincingly adamant he wants to stay.  Two different injuries in two years was bad luck.  It's not like it was the same thing.  He knows the game and figures to end his career in a place where he is happy.  You can't really compare how Bryce did with Mays compared to AC.  AC was hurt week 5.  Bryce was on the bench after week 2 and didn't return until week 8. Mays is basically under team control next year as a RFA.  We could offer the right of first refusal for 3m.  I'd offer a 2 year deal which averages a little higher so you can manipulate the cap on his deal.  Additionally, I'd resign Corbett to a team friendly deal.  Many forget he has positional versatility like BC.  Corbett is only one year older, is two inches shorter, about 10 pounds heavier, and has arms that are one inch longer.  Corbett has played LT in college and guard/center in the NFL.  Ideally, bring back all three, but if BC gets big time $$$ AC and CM can battle for center and the other becomes a swing lineman. If we cut bait on Yosh Nijman we may be able to keep all three.  I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

      As fans, we often exaggerate how bad our team owner is because we are so invested and focused on our team. We don't really see how bad other team owners, like Woody Johnson or Robert Kraft, because we are focused on the Panthers.
