The Lions continue to underwhelm in free agency once again. That would be okay if they had a decent draft strategy, but history shows Millen doesn’t. Today, they have resigned George Foster to a 1 year deal. What?

I guess they have decided to give the ultimate under achiever another shot. They brought him in last year and he couldn’t have been any worse at right tackle than he was last year. Foster kept trying to give his job away, but nobody would step up and outplay his display performance until Damien Woody did towards the end of the season.

The only reason I can think of why they resigned him was as an insurance policy since they lost Woody to free agency. I guess they are keeping him around in case they can’t find someone else in free agency or the draft. All I can see is, we are in for another long season if Woody is anchoring that right side again.

In other news, Julius Jones signed with the Seahawks, so obviously he won’t be a Lion. That would have been somewhat intriguing but as I said in a previous post, I am sure his asking price for what the Lions wanted was too high.

There are also a bunch of internet reports out there about the Lions being interested in Pacman Jones. Come on, you can’t be serious. Millen might not be much of a GM, but he is a man o character and I can’t see him bringing that trash into Detroit. It would also go in the face of what Marinelli has been preaching about building a cohesive team with chemistry that starts in the locker room. Danger - stay away from him, which I think Detroit will smartly do.
