    There are a lot of trades here. I’m wondering if these will have any impact on team performance.

    i really think that the detroit lions managing staff and owners deserve every thing they get every season,they are always bringing great players to our team,billy simms,eric hipple,herman moore,roy williams,and first and foremost,the greatest running back to ever play the game,”barry sanders”,and every time they screw the player over or the relationship they have with these particular players,and you turn around and pay to keep someone like matt millen,come man,we are and will always be the worst team ever from 1935 to the present,we have had some of the best players to play the game of football,but our owners will never respect these players and this is why alot of players are who are released or traded away from the lions go on to have better careers in the nfl,they are simply given the respect that they command.
