LSUtiger 238 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If he doesn’t practice this week I’m really debating dropping him. I can’t have him burning a hole in my bench when we’re in crunch time for playoffs and it’s all hands on deck... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Gmen07 170 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 At this point, I don’t think he’s coming back. He’ll be hard to trust anyway if he does return. Cutting him is risky but if you need to make an addition and don’t have anyone else to drop I’d do it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I absolutely agree with you but that does not appear to be the advice he is getting. I keep going back to the video of him pulling up and I don’t see anything indicating a severe injury. I believe he keeps saying it is not right and they are letting him sit. Not one diagnostic test conducted? It is a strange situation all around. I mean Ekeler had a diagnostic test showing the hammy and he is back. Everyone heals differently but this makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites
FitzMagic 4,260 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Playing a few more games will make no difference on his contract at this point. The only thing that can impact it is coming back and having an even worse injury. The Lions won't make the playoffs and should have extended him well before this season. People saying he needs to play for it to affect him getting a better deal are doing the recency bias thing. The guy had two consecutive 1,000 yard seasons prior to this one and pretty much played full seasons averaging 15.5 games played. Coming off his rookie deal Babytron is about to get broke off! 🤑 Link to post Share on other sites

KG is an established star WR, 2 or 3 weeks is obviously not going to make any difference whatsoever in his next contract. Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore1521 1,461 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I mean, I could see a GM paying more if they saw him healthy and ball out to end the year, especially with it being a hip "injury". He will get good money either way. I don't think its that far of a stretch to have that opinion though 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think its that far of a stretch to have that opinion though On the other hand, given it's a hip injury and a lost season, I think all he has to do is look at what happened to Isaiah Thomas in the NBA when he came back early and played hurt, specifically with a bad hip. GM's don't give lucrative, long-term contracts to dudes with chronic hip issues in any sport. He's either getting the franchise tag or the contract he wants--it just takes one GM to look at his first couple seasons. Link to post Share on other sites

Drewfus 128 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This is so freaking weird that AFAIK nobody even knows what kind of hip injury it is. Is his hip broken?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

C’mon man... that is some serious grasping at straws. No I am not saying it was intentional. I believe he had only 4 targets and was aggravated that they were getting beat and made a bigger deal of a minor ailment. I believe he took a shot a few plays earlier and chose to opt out. Now he is just continuing with the narrative to avoid playing. Edited December 3, 2020 by jjbooda Link to post Share on other sites

What a puzzling situation. The no IR thing is just baffling; at least now waivers don't run until tomorrow, so at the very least there's one more practice/injury report before the rage-dropping commences. (or maybe not, since it's been weeks of cryptic messages coming from Lions' brass.) Link to post Share on other sites
Martinlongbow 57 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 There is zero chance lions are extending him and close to zero some other team giving him a 20m a year contract. Both fuller and arob would go way before him. Most probably he will get tagged so no reason for him to do anything this season. easy drop at this point if you need a roster space and dont have ir Link to post Share on other sites
