I wonder when the first hire will happen, feels like Johnson might hold up the whole thing.

I feel like some teams know they have no real shot at Johnson. Maybe all of them sans Washington. I feel like at least 1-2 of these vacancies get filled this week.

Repeating what many of us will be saying over and over until the news hits...

"Please just don't screw it up" 😖

I hope we land him, but feels like such a longshot if I look at it objectively from Johnson's point of view. Washington he will get to choose his QB, new owner who hasnt made a fool of himself, already has a decent team. I suppose Tepper could offer a ton of money, but how much more would he have to pay? lol

They got antsy last year and ended up with Reich. Don't see that happening this year.

Yep, Reich was named HC on the 24th. Safe to say the search this year will go longer. And it should. Finding out who gets a second interview will at least help us narrow down the prospective candidates some.

In a vacuum, I wouldn’t hate hiring Evero as HC and I wouldn’t mind making Morgan as GM.

But I will be pretty angry if that’s how both jobs go down. We need at least one prominent voice from the outside coming in.

My biggest fear about a DC getting the job is Tepper burning up the phone to bring Kellen Moore in to be OC

A bit of positive (quite possibly wishful) thinking...

Given their history, why would anybody really want to coach the Lions?

Dan Campbell did. Heck, part of the reason he got the job was because during the interview process he demonstrated to their leadership just how badly he wanted it.

A little while back someone asked him why.

His answer was that he wanted the challenge. He'd long thought that winning in Detroit would be something that few could accomplish, so being the guy who did would be something special.

You have to figure that at least once in their time together, he's mentioned that story to Ben Johnson.

Maybe that, plus a desire to return to his hometown team, can make a difference.

...

Not something I'd bet on of course, but we can certainly hope 😕

The Lions had an ownership change of sorts in 2020 when Sheila Hamp Ford took over from her mother. She came in with a clear plan to turn the franchise around. What do we have here?

From my understanding, the new “plan” was to not care and just sign the checks…I read cat teams Reddit lol

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
