The other thing I read about Teller is he has this wierd contract that has like 4 voidable concurrent years into the future from now and is due $99M at the conclusion. I won't pretend to understand it or even try to explain it. I don't know if he gets basically $25M a year each of the next 4 years (but has to wait to the end to cash it) by not signing with anyone. Or perhaps he is getting some bonus money and it makes his price lower? My only point is that deciphering that may be part of the hold up for any team that wants to sign him? It appears he is officially released but it is murky. Browns do really stupid contracts (see Watson). Sheesh.

100%

Saying I am not paying that extra 1-2 million for my most glaring roster need is not something that SB contending teams do. Joe hasn't dropped over 10 million on a free agent addition yet. He can do it once.

Especially considering that he won’t count against the comp formula, get him on short deal and pay him what he wants…

[Fouts2herbert]

Too bad but not surprised. I didn't think Salyer would get 5 million.

I know it has to be 5 million as the baseline, does anyone know if the deal has to be 2 years or can it be a one year deal?

It can be one year and still qualify…

LOL yeah That is the point of this whole off season.

The ONLY thing that held this team back and sabotaged their season and playoffs was offensvie line play

This is the sole reason the fanbase is not happy with a very passive approach to fix that offensive line so far. Fans are smart enough to know you can't fix offensive line after the fact, after the draft. Decent lineman do not become available. That is the reason for fan urgency as nearly all of the quality linemen have come off the board.

I also think MM is a big upgrade to Roman so got that going for us as well

Liions sign Tyler Conklin to one year deal. Why, I don't know.

And for interest, Simi Fehoko resigned with Cardinals for another one year deal

New Lions OC Drew Petzing cut his teeth with Ben Johnson and is known as a tight end whisperer and of course Coach Campbell was a tight end, they’ve got a specific role in mind.

I like Simi wish him the best and sorry I’ve never heard of Tyler Conklin.

[Bolt-O]

Tua signs with Atlanta.

[21&500]

Conklin must have the best agent in the biz....

[Steve]

He has enough of a track record and the Lions want some depth behind LaPorta.

It does show how thin the TE depth is across the NFL

[Bolt-O]

I would have kept him, but now we have DT.
