Campbell and his bluster are on borrowed time. That type of coaching only works when you are winning, at least sometimes.

There's some talent on that team. Horrible coaching staff

How do you know they didn’t try?

 

just seems odd that Det traded for that to a division rival.  At any rate, while Det is selling, do they have a good safety or RB (good safety being better than Johnson)

Beane sleeping at the wheel, he should be fired!

Obviously there are a couple of posters here who know EVERYTHING.  Didn't you know that.  They themselves have probably already worked out these trades on their copy of Madden and they just can't believe that Beane isn't doing the same thing.  Come on now!  These guys KNOW what they are talking about.  They could easily be GMs but they choose to post here instead.

Don't care other than it sucks the Vikings get him before the Bills play them.

On the other hand, the Bears traded Roquan Smith to the Ravens after we played the Ravens and before we play Chicago.

Didn’t want him. Get Knox involved and keep the draft picks. 

 

I said at the time of that draft why draft Hock in the top 10 when you can get a slightly rawer version of the same player - Dawson Knox in the 3rd or 4th round. 

[Low Positive]

The Lions are behaving like a bad baseball team. Drafting guys, and then trading them just as soon as they develop for the chance at getting another guy that they can develop and trade. As a Reds fan, I have seen this a 1,000 times.

Johnson is awful.  Hamlin is fine.  We need a safety

Hamlin and Poyer is good. Johnson is way too slow reacting. Poyer is struggling though health wise this year.

WTF?  Trading a player inside your own division??

The Pats gave us Bledsoe. It's really not that big of a deal. The Lions are going to need a QB, and they clearly need an entirely new defense. By the time they're ready to compete, Hockenenson will likely have more days behind him than ahead of him. If the Vikings gave the best offer, I understand.

[Rc2catch]

Weird to send him in division. I can see moving him if you’re not gonna pay him, and they clearly need to invest their free agent money on the defensive side of the ball. But still strange to send him to your rival.

Dodged another bullet.

We also didn't know if Hock wanted out. I gotta think that 4 picks are going to the Lions not Hockenson and swap of two to each team. 

[LEBills]

Hockenson is a good, not elite tight end.

 

Detroit knows it’s a couple years away from actually competing and their cheap owner wasn’t going to be happy paying a guaranteed 9+ million for a tight end next year and then however much more after that.

 

I think it is a good trade for the Vikings to get a well rounded tight end and not that bad a trade for the Lions long term. Second round pick is worth more to them than 1.5 more years of Hockenson. I’m not worried about the Bills not getting him.

"Brandon Beane went all-in with pocket Ace's pre-flop and lost the hand??? What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!"

would love to get Johnson upgrade and let Poyer heal a bit.

Bills have Knox already and don't really use him that much. I'd be much more interested in Amon-Ra.

He tried to change the culture. When it works it works, when it doesn't it's Detroit.

Maybe i'm wrong is so. Hockenson is over rated but still a Top 10 TE to a divisional rival and only getting to upgrade a couple picks. Campbell must have wanted him out. Campbell is a former TE so maybe he sees something that we don't or maybe he's just a fool.

Of all the things that would never happen, this has got to be near the top.
