v0dka Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora reports Lions GM Martin Mayhew has been calling other teams in search of a running back. This report suggests not only that the organization is aiming higher than free agent Ryan Grant, but also that Kevin Smith's ankle injury could end up leaving his status up in the air for the season opener. Saints power back Chris Ivory makes a lot of sense; he's fourth on the depth chart, and undrafted rookie Travaris Cadet has impressed in preseason action.

stethant Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 As a guy who recently drafted KSmith in my main league before this injury, admittedly with tempered expectations, this makes me ill. Please remind me why this was a good idea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABearWithFurniture Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Probably not, but the Lions would be a hell of a threat with a solid RB...one of the few things holding them back besides all the court appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Chris Ivory would be a good one. Problem is why would you want to make the Lions better if in the NFC and what good would it do for the Saints to trade an inexpensive yet good player to a competitor? It is not like Detroit is dangling a 2nd rounder out there ... Edited August 28, 2012 by Scooby's Hubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're consider he and Cadet close in terms of value for what they bring to the team then it would make perfect sense to trade one and get something instead of flat cutting them.

Sure, but if you are Detroit, then why trade for a guy you can claim off of waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sure, but if you are Detroit, then why trade for a guy you can claim off of waivers? Counting on a guy to clear waivers to your pick is a very risky en-devour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rhino Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Kahill Bell is still out there after being cut by the Bears. Good player and should get cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
