Antonio Cromartie to Detriot?

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who has fallen out of favor in San Diego due to a stew of reasons that likely includes an alarming lack of tackling effort during the AFC playoffs, has been on the trading block for a while.

And he apparently will soon be off the block -- because he apparently will soon be traded.

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Cromartie "could be" a Lion in the near future. There are no details regarding the compensation that Chargers would receive.

Trades officially can be made as of the first day of the league year, which this year is March 5. But teams can loosely agree to terms before March 5, with the deal consummated at some point after the clock strikes 12.

As Acee points out, regardless of whether Cromartie becomes a Lion, Cromartie "has almost certainly" played his last game with San Diego.

Meanwhile, feel free to start making the Wizard of Oz references. Bonus points are available if you can tie them together with the whole Travis Henry thing.

I wonder how much the lions will give up for him? There not exactly known for rock solid FO moves... With the 2nd pick the Chargers pick?

Cromartie must be shitting himself lol. From San Diego to Detroit.. hilarious.

I can see Lions giving up their 2nd round pick(34th overall) for Cromartie, no way in hell he is worth a 1st rounder.

it wouldnt be a bad move for the chargers say if they got a 2nd round pick and kevin smith. they could then trade up higher in the 1st round to try and get spiller
