Report: Detroit Lions to work out former Buffalo QB Tyree Jackson

……………

Tyree Jackson has loads of physical talent. The fact that Jackson wasn't even drafted and is now on the football street illustrates that he needs to put the other components of QB play together. This is an understatement.

Report: Detroit Lions work out several players including 3 more quarterbacks

……………

I don't anticipate the Lions signing any of these players this week ( Even to the Practice Squad ) , unless an injury occurs in practice.

Detroit Lions reportedly work out former first-round WR Laquon Treadwell


Laquon Treadwell continues to get workouts

……………..


This thread relates to the following thread:

Vikings decline 5th year option on WR Laquon Treadwell


detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/243/vikings-decline-option-laquon-treadwell

It wasn't surprising that the Vikings moved on from Laquon Treadwell. It's doubtful Treadwell will be consistent enough to ever come close to playing up to his draft billing.

ESPN reported that former Green Bay Packers safety Josh Jones will make a free-agent visit to the Lions next week. Jones, a second-round pick in 2017 out of Walled Lake Western and North Carolina State, was waived off the non-football injury list last month.

Packers GM explains decision to release S Josh Jones

………………………..

Mike Daniels input on Josh Jones is something the Lions brass should seek before considering signing him. Physical talent is not why Jones ended up on the football street.

Report: Former second-round safety Josh Jones to visit Detroit Lions

…………..

Unless Josh Jones is willing to sign a Practice Squad Contract with tbe Lions, I don't think the Lions are going to come to a contract agreement with him this week.

……………

A Practice Squad opportunity is the very likely initial outcome if the Lions sign Tyler Gauthier.

Detroit Lions reportedly work out former second-round RB Jeremy Hill

…………..

As Jeremy Hill gets further from the torn ACL, it's realistically possible that his skill level will increase significantly.

Running back needy Detroit Lions reportedly working out Jay Ajayi

……………….

If the Lions don't sign Jay Ajayi leading up to the game in Chicago a week from now, the Lions likely won't be signing him in the foreseeable future ( next few weeks ).

Detroit Lions will attended Colin Kaepernick workout on Saturday

………..

The combination of the distraction signing Colin Kaepernick would cause the Lions ( including a high vocal divide in the fan base ) and Kaepernick not playing since the 2016 season makes it a no brainer from my point of view for the Lions NOT signing him.


To put the distraction component in perspective, there are people who couldn't name more than 2 current NFL players that know who Colin Kaepernick is.

If Detroit Lions sign Colin Kaepernick, they would be taking a chance, and making a stance

……………….

Even from a pure football standpoint, it makes practically no sense for the Lions to sign Colin Kaepernick. By the time he's ready to play in a game, it will be December. The Lions will likely be eliminated from playoff contention by then or one game away from elimination. With Kaepernick being 33 next year, he's at most a temporary fix as a backup QB behind Matthew Stafford. The Lions need longer term solutions in that role.
