Cliff Avril frachised

We couldn't afford him anyways but he and Mario were the 2 premiere pass rushers on the market.

Hmm...

Lions are going w/ superstar or bust approach.

Stafford - #1 Overall money
Calvin Johnson - Paid like a top WR
Suh - #1 Overall money
Avril - Franchised

They've got to have over $40m tied up in those guys alone.

I don't blame them - they need some sort of cohesiveness for the franchise.

Really starting to dislike the franchise tag. Also the word franchise reminds me chicken francese.

That's what happens when you have a top 5 pick every year. Just imagine if they didnt blow so many picks on WR busts!
