Source: The #Lions are signing Cam Sutton to a 3-year deal worth $33M with $22.5M guaranteed.

This reeks of they just didn't want him. 3 year, $33 isn't that much - it's less than I expected the team to have to pay for him

or after paying Watt and Fitz we aren’t trying to spend much on D.

I think this could also mean we are going to try and sign Highsmith to a team friendly deal?

Welcome...Joey Porter, Jr

Knee jerk reaction? We lost our slot corner. We wisely did not match the offer.

I think Depot Dave predicted between $11-$13M / year.

I agree that it seems like this was a deal I thought we'd offer.

Seems like either (1) we didn't want him at that price or (2) he didn't want to come back?

I do imagine that we'll try to use the leverage of Highsmith not being UFA yet to get better than market terms on a deal this offseason. Will depend if he wants to put a bet on himself or take the money now.

Dunno. That puts him at around the 15th highest paid CB in the league this year. I don't think he was worth that as a #2 CB.

Looks like Dulac will have to eat crow again. Didn't he say that if Sutton thought he could get $10 million per in FA, he was crazy?

[Moonie]

Hate to see Sutton go, but no way could we afford that.

I'll miss Sutton but we got a much better player in Peterson and because he was cheaper it helps our salary cap. A great decision and signing by management.

Very well put.
Essentially what I’ve been trying to say buried in WAY TOO MANY words.
