Lions cutting Trey Flowers

If his price tag is reasonably low, he seems like a perfect 1-2 year reclamation project with high upside. Being he will be released, he also wouldn’t count against the comp pick formula, which is huge in an offseason we will lose Ward, Tyrann, Nnadi, Reed, Pringle and a few others to FA on expired contracts that should all land elsewhere on new deals.

Agreed.

I'd do this thing, now. If we're going to beef up this DL, we're going to need some solid additions that won't break the bank and, I hope, one big ticket addition.

DeForest Buckner getting cut in San Francisco, maybe?

Didn't they trade him to Indy?

You thinking Armstead?

You are correct -- he was traded to Indy, who may cut him.

That seems incredibly unlikely. To what possible purpose?

Guy has a base salary of $11 million. Teams would be lining up around the block to throw no worse than a 3rd rounder Indy's way to take on that deal at that cap hit. You could probably get a 2nd out of him.

He'll likely get cut NEXT season. But there's no way they're cutting him this year with $70 million in cap room and no genuine reason to do so.
