@CharlesRobinson: As first reported by @davebirkett, Nick Fairley is no longer considering a return to the #Lions.
Not exactly the same thing, but McClain was a risk like Hardy was...and it paid off. We brought Brent back into the fold...so we are not afraid to bring in guys who might not be the most popular in the NFL.Wonder how interested we really are with Hardy considering his domestic abuse issues.
I don't know the details in Hardy case, but it does seem the Cowboys are more likely to sign a guy with a troubled background rather than draft one with issues.Not exactly the same thing, but McClain was a risk like Hardy was...and it paid off.

When healthy and in shape he is an absolute beast. Those two things are big questions though.Wait, Fairly is a free agent? I'd be interested.
I totally agree.I like all 3.
Might have to roll the dice. That's some impressive upside if Marinelli can get it out of him. And he doesn't have criminal baggage.When healthy and in shape he is an absolute beast. Those two things are big questions though.
it's not like Teryl Austin is some schlub. I don't see us being able to get much out of himMight have to roll the dice. That's some impressive upside if Marinelli can get it out of him. And he doesn't have criminal baggage.
I've always been a big Nick Fairley fan. All the way back to his Auburn days where he would literally take a game over as a DT. With Marinelli motivation isn't a concern for me. Marinelli would kick his ass in gear and likely get the most out of him. My real concern is the 10 games, 13 games, 15 games, and 8 games that he has played in each season. I worry about injury prone players. They don't tend to snap out of these things. But at the right price I'd take a shot on the guy that he will have a 13 or 15 game season again.Might have to roll the dice. That's some impressive upside if Marinelli can get it out of him.

The Lions actually got a lot out of him when healthy. In 2012 he had 5.5 sacks and in 2013 he had 6 sacks.it's not like Teryl Austin is some schlub. I don't see us being able to get much out of him
Yeah...he would have been our best DT last year.The Lions actually got a lot out of him when healthy. In 2012 he had 5.5 sacks and in 2013 he had 6 sacks.
Indeed.I like all 3.
We can if we let Murray walk and sign Dez long term to lower his cap number.we arent going to be able to sign fairley and hardy. I would without a question take Greg Hardy, bad decisions and all, over Nick Fairley. Still a good player, but lazy and injury prone. You don't know which player you are going to get half the time. We don't need those
yea but im trying to be realistic here. Dez wont get a deal done for months and by that time fairley and hardy wont be here. Murray may be back with the team, i'd say its 50/50 right nowWe can if we let Murray walk and sign Dez long term to lower his cap number.
