Yeah, maybe Snyder should be talking to the NFL about tampering by the Lions?


j/k :silly:

JJ getting a Vet min deal, worth approx. $845 K

The Lions are sure signing a lot of vets. I think they'll be better but did they look at the film on Jansen?

Re: Lions to sign Jansen for 1 year deal, pending physical Monday
 

Great for Jon and the Lions. My only concern is that he will be playing on artificial turf.

Re: Lions to sign Jansen for 1 year deal, pending physical Monday
 

It will probablt be a good signing since the Lions will be a running team and not a west coast passing team. Schwartz is a defensive minded coach from that Jeff Fisher mode.

At the very least hes good depth for a bad team looking to improve. Hes not as bad as people have made him out to be. Usually when players go to a new team they get rejuvenated. I think its a perfect fit for the Lions and Jansen.

People keep talking about the Tuna having signed a player at 12:01 or something like that last yr. Wouldn't that make the fastest signing? Not including a players who were cut.

Jansen getting released and then signed by the Lions, all took under an hour I'm guessing.

I agree. At the worst he's giving them a veteran backup presence along that OL. At best maybe he can squeeze a decent season out of himself as a starter.

Re: Lions to sign Jansen for 1 year deal, pending physical Monday
 

anybody know what the Lion's o line situation is? other than it sucks of course
does JJ have a legit chance to start?

I wonder if they'll work him out at guard first.

Saw this on Rotoworld yesterday...

[quote]Jansen, 33, will sign for the veteran minimum if he passes a physical on Monday. The former Michigan Wolverine is expected to compete for the starting right tackle job with last year's first-rounder Gosder Cherilus. Both players struggled last season, but the Lions would obviously prefer if Cherilus earned the starting nod.[/quote]

thanks for posting that. I just went to their webpage (I know, I could've done so before I posted my question) & saw a no. of tackles on the roster. They signed a couple free agents & George Foster was re-signed as their RT in 08. Wonder if he's hurt?

It doesn't look good for JJ at T at this point, but it could come down to health. I won't be surprised if he does or doesn't make the roster, but I will be very surprised if he starts over a healthy Cherilos or Foster.

Cherilus should win the job but I wouldnt be shocked if Jansen beat him out. I never underestimate a man on a mission. Jansen wants to prove everyone wrong and it wouldnt shock me if with a new team he does just that.

Justin Smiley was signed by Parcells at 12:20am. This makes any other situation, such as the Haynesworth deal, laughable when it is called tampering.
