This trade made sense for both teams. I'm a little surprised because this type of movement is rare, but the speculation was rampant, even though Detroit said they would not trade him.
The circus in Big D just got crazier.
The Lions have CJ, who is better than Roy. He was a FA who didn't want to be there anymore, and rather than tag him and juggle a soap opera, Detroit did the right thing and unloaded the guy for a lot of picks. These picks will help Detroit lay the foundation of their new team. Their rebuilding begins...
Dallas added more talent, and a compliment to TO, plus another weapon for Romo when he returns. They have stars everywhere and could stand to give up some picks for a proven commodity in Roy.
All in all, I really don't care because it has nothing to do with us and is an NFC matter. But it was interesting to hear.
