I think it's just coach speak from MM. He's not going to trash a player in public whether they're staying or going.
Maybe he is being somewhat smart and not telegraphing that we have to trade the guy. And frankly we don't have to trade him. Watkins can come or go. No one will fight us for his services. Golston is sort of a DE too still so you could move a guy like Basham instead. I personally like Gallimore and wouldn't trade him unless I'm getting decent value. But I'm not in the locker room either. I'm just prepping for a Gallimore for a seventh round pick trade. Plus Gallimore has more time on his rookie deal than say Hill who is legit playing for a contract this year and probably becomes fat and lazy next year.I agree with what you’re saying…just was pointing out or asking why your HC would say that and then suddenly the guy looks like a goner.

Right, I don't think they even plan on having Hill back. I think Stephen is banking on that comp pick... Which is fine because he probably will turn back into a pumpkin. But that would have us down two DTs from this group.Plus Gallimore has more time on his rookie deal than say Hill who is legit playing for a contract this year and probably becomes fat and lazy next year.
Wait... Clark is faster than Parsons? Holy hell.
No doubt.Fucking Lions were intentionally trying to take out our players knees.
Yeah that's good to hear. I hope they find ways to work him in on defense.Wait... Clark is faster than Parsons? Holy hell.
Especially considering they run packages with multiple DE or DE/hybrid players. It’s a little overkillI mean how many Dlineman can you really have on your roster? Something sort of has to give despite what the coach said. You have 4 Dlineman on the field most plays. Do you keep around 6 or 7 DTs for that? I don't think Gallimore is a bad player but they must not like what he is doing on the field as much as the other guys. And Hill has sort of just been a better pass rusher.
Osa, Hill, Golston, Bohanna, Hankins and Watkins. Gallimore makes it 7 dudes. You don't get unlimited guys on the roster.
theyve already done that as far as snaps are concerned.Yeah, if they do trade Gallimore the surprising thing would be that they essentially chose Hill over him.
Hill seems to have earned it, so…Yeah, if they do trade Gallimore the surprising thing would be that they essentially chose Hill over him.
Hell no.
I'd be fine with it as long as he can keep his shit together.
Yeah, I'd be all for it.I'd be fine with it as long as he can keep his shit together.
Those are the type of under the radar high ceiling/low risk signings that can push teams over the top.
