Reynolds looks like a good keep. And st brown excelled for where he was drafted. I trust lions to get good quality WR in draft vs overpaying free agents.
Yeah, I like Robinson. Money matters, but I think he still has plenty left.
All things equal I would rather have Chark, but something tells me Chark's youth will come at a price. Robinson will hit the wall by the time this team is ready to compete.

I think Robinson can give you 3 more years and help bridge the gap while developing a young WR.
I’d be happy with Chark, too. I do think cost may be high and I do think he’s a little more risky.

It’s pretty low risk/high reward. Eats up a little more cap then I was hoping this year, but no long term commitment. If he flops, off the books next year. If he hits, can look at locking him up long term or let him walk and likely get a decent comp pick.

On one hand this makes sense. On the other hand seems wierd for a team at least 2-3 years from competing.

Makes a lot of sense to me, given WR’s almost always get huge money in open market. They’ll have the ability to see if they want him long term, they’ll likely draft a guy high still and he’ll get chance to develop without a ton of pressure(guys staying relatively healthy of course), and they ll have the option to move on if they think that drafted WR can slide in that role and possibly get some value back on Chark or they have their big time guy they were looking for and can lock him up.
I imagine part of this is what Chark wanted to. He’s coming off a down year and if he has a big year he can get a monster deal next year, especially with cap supposed to go up a lot.

Makes sense. I guess the only thing that gives me pause is if he does play well enough to where they want to extend him, it will be harder to retain him. I guess not the worst problem to have.

Maybe, I always feel like it’s easier and seems like it’s usually cheaper to sign guys before they hit the open market. Plus Lions may have a ton of money to burn next year. Could even use the franchise tag.

Problem is timing it right. It doesn't seem like teams often extend guys on a one year contract after playing great for 10 weeks. Usually they let the season play out and they test the market. But the compensatory pick logic is valid.

I meant the window after the season is over. Lions would be able to negotiate with him before FA opens. And could use the tag if they felt it was worth it.
I like Chark, think he can be a legit #1 if he’s right, but he really only has been for 1 season, so locking him up for 3-4 years seemed like the bigger risk to me.
I’m also well aware with the Lions luck, he’ll have a great season, Lions give him a nice long term deal and he immediately ruptures his Achilles in training camp.

They have(or had)to have plans of signing other free agents and wanted the room without restructuring deals. Maybe figuring it won’t matter if they decide to sign him next year. Definitely interesting.
