Rumor With Lions...
60 replies
dgb11112New MemberOPIt looks like Miami is talking to the Lions in regards to some trades of players and picks. The player that we are looking at is Cliff Avril. Now before you go off, I don't have a link it's but it is from two other sites out there. It seems that we might be making a move here. Take it for what it's worth but I would bet this goes down since he is only a 23 yr old that will move to SOLB.
Hope it goes thru guys.

what the hell is a kegit?
A typo of legit. The only link I can find about this is one to a thread on the other site with no link.
2k5forum_veteranHe was a third round pick, 92 overall.
Avril is a 6-foot-3, 252-pound hybrid defensive end/outside linebacker, known for his speed.
What I want to know is which player from Miami is considered to be traded from this rumor.

Doesn't seem too kegit though.

Was the rumor directly related to Miami or was it just that Avril can be had to whoever makes the offer?

adamprez2003forum_veteranAvril is not a bad pickup. If its a 4th rounder, definitely worth it.

Absolutely.
You have to love trading players with ****ty teams like the Lions too. They need help at so many positions that you can almost always find a player that's expendable.

He was a 3rd rounder, so anything 5th and up is all I would give. If he was a kegit player, the Lions would be asking for a 2nd or better. Obviously he has not met expectations so "sliding" one round is way too high. Two rounds or worse is all he's worth.

rumor is Mia and Det talking trade player for draft picks.

the only problem with a 5th is we dont have one

He had hamstring issues for most of the year.
Obviously, that hampered his production.
I just don't understand why Detroit would be giving up on him already when he obviously has some talent. They don't have a lot of quality depth at the position and they prob wouldn't be getting a higher pick than they spent.
Only thing that would really make sense is multiple players from our side or a pick and player(s). And we're already down a few picks.

LinussubscriberMaybe they think he'll be a better fit at OLB in a 3-4 than as a DE in Detroit's 4-3? Dolphins would get a young guy with promise (if that's what the FO sees) and the Lions, who need all the picks they can get, get a 4th for a guy who doesn't fit their system very well.
It's similar to the Dolphins picking up Randy Starks...he was a young guy who didn't really meet expectations with his team. We signed him and he was an afterthought to a lot of people...and then basically played like our defensive MVP last season.

You kindve contradicted your earlier post, but came around to your senses with this one :up:
I am not to excited about giving up a 4th rounder for an offcast from the lowly Lions.
What's next? A 3rd for a Raiduhs QB?
Zeke0123forum_veteranOr worse and be like the Pats and give up a 4th to the faiders for a WR...o wait..nm:tongue2:

Stitchesluxury_boxI'm not sure how there can be a "legit" rumor. A rumor by nature lacks confirmation, right?
