Lions plan to redesign uniforms in 2024​

The Lions are heading into their final season with their current uniform design.

Lions President Rod Wood told the Detroit Free Press that the team is working with Nike on new uniforms that could be unveiled in 2024.

Wood also said the Lions will have a new alternate helmet for the 2023 season, which the Lions will wear when wearing their all-gray alternate uniforms.

The Lions do not intend to change their longtime color scheme of Honolulu blue and silver, but it will be a change from the current uniform design, which has been in place in Detroit since 2017.

Best choice for him is Carolina of those teams. Though I think there's a kid on the roster who might end up starting there (Corral), Reich is one of the better run game and balance callers in the league which Carr needs.

Jets might be looking at a coaching change, same with New Orleans. This of course means Carr will choose one of them because he's a dumbass.

Saints, Falcons, Commodes... I'd avoid those teams if I were a FA QB.

Jets aren't a bad choice either since they have a good WR core, but the problem is how Carr plays in the cold. No matter who he chooses, he's gonna get paid and we'll see a flurry of QB moves right after he signs. Curious to see how it goes down.

Only reason to consider the Saints or Falcons is cuz the NFC South is a mess.

Good point.

Maybe. Probably comes down to Hackett and how he does there. But I'd hate to go to a team that suffers a HC change a year later if I'm a QB. Then you're at the mercy of an owner who hasn't gotten shit right ever.

Carolina there's a guy I know is a good OC and he's in year one. Saints have a good talent base but that HC was not impressive last year and is probably in over his head. Not sure Carr moves that needle either way for either team.

Carr in a couple years will probably end up being a backup. He just doesn't seem to be able to find the trigger consistently. Just another talented QB missing shit upstairs IMO. That's a very long and extensive list.

Yeah I actually think in the end, Carolina is definitely the best spot for him coach wise, but it probably depends on who throws the most money at him. Carr will definitely get about a 2 year leash at most with his new club and if he chokes, he'll be relegated to back up jobs the rest of his NFL career for sure.

If I'm the Panthers, I start Corral and see how it goes. Worst case, they are in the running for the best QB prospect to come out since TLaw at least. Then they also know what they have with Corral, who, if I'm not mistaken, had zero snaps last year.

Corral had a Lisfranc injury, they can be tough to recover from ...

Unless you're a woman.

I'ma guess several women have had fun partying with the dude. Lots of women love assholes.

Got it, you don’t care about our judicial system and the standards we have in America.

I can't speak for Elm but my thought was anything that gets that idiot off my screen is ok with me. Not really but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if he was gone for whatever reason. It's not like he has a clean track record.

 

[Angry Ram]

I'm not advocating trading him. I'd prefer to keep him and add a vet.

I've seen more and more posts about sending him out for picks.

I mean Van was a 2nd round pick himself. It's odd that ppl want picks to draft players but when one does contribute and a good player want to send him away.

Van Jeff suffered a knee injury and missed several games last year, Skowronek was excellent as a replacement. Prior to the Ramsey being traded rumor took hold, some fans were looking at all angles that might be required to get the Rams under the CAP. Van Jefferson is likely lost to free agency following the 2023 season anyway, so moving him now could provide a new draft pick as well as some CAP relief. The Rams used Skow, Powell and Atwell quite sparingly while Van Jeff was healthy, they also have Austin Trammell and brought in Lance McCutcheon & Jaquarii Roberson. I would also suspect that McSnead will have a tough time resisting the temptation to acquire a new WR somewhere during the draft.
It's not like we just want to cut Rams players willy-nilly, no one is comparing Van Jeff to Evans, but if we are looking to every last dollar of CAP savings without getting sentimental, turning over every rock for an extra buck becomes part of the process.

Players heal, and he played well when forced into the #1 role and the shitty QB play. Now you got potentially a good WR group there with Van AND Ben AND the starting QB returning.

Man...i know, but the cap. I think at this point people should know the cap doesn't really mean anything. Someone posted that like half the teams are over said cap. All of those teams are gonna manage. If you trade off Van, based on the assessment of knee injury, $$$ and age what would you realistically get? A 6th rounder? Some other shitty round pick 2 years from now? Is that late round player gonna be better than Van to save a few bucks and replace with some practice squad guy?

Teams manage cap and keep their best players regardless of what that is. That's the job of the bean counters playing w/ excel.

Managing the CAP doesn't just occur in a vacuum somewhere, there are repercussions with debt which has a said end date where what's owed must be met. Some want to just unload Ramsey, I offer an alternative which I don't expect everyone or anyone for that matter to agree with.
This is a fan forum, today some us play at bean counting, in a few more weeks it will be about free agency and later it will be the draft and then the new season.
I'm amazed so many get panty bunched around here over ideas or options that don't fit their liking.

If by 'manage', you mean all teams will get under the cap ... Agree

However, that first statement is just ridiculous.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

I say just turn off the no salary cap tab like in Madden football!

Man is going to get paid. He is a better than average QB. Has one of the best deep balls. Any of those teams get him and they become dangerous. I hope he goes Jets. But if I was him, that NFC South looks prime for the taking.
