“@SalSports: Lots of rumors flying around that Barnett deal is done in #Buffalo. Have yet to get confirmation from any official source. Gotta be careful”

 

Just posted on twitter fwiw

 

Things slowly but surely coming together for this D.

 

Straight up, right now, forgetting age and assuming good health for both, who do you think is a better ILB for this defense - Poz or Barnett?

Lions just signed Stephen Tulloch to a 5 year deal. May help our chances in landing Barnett.

According to ESPN that Tulloch deal is a one-year deal @ $3.35 million.

you can assume good health, but cant forget to factor in age.

 

Id say its about a push, and Im leaning towards Poz. But Barnett is at least a good shot at a replacement. Good enws is our DLine is much improved from last year so that will help Barnett.

 

Barnett is too old for this team, he is like 30. We need long term investments ie young guys... thats what our whole strategy is about.

 

Guaranteed we dont sign this guy.

 

 

We have young guys that we drafted. The purpose of Barnett will be to play as a stop-gap until (at least) Sheppard is ready.
