Good. Didn't want him here. Hated his stupid 2k nickname. And the amount of fantasy leagues I got burned in my drafting him. I'm not bitter.

Not going to lie, I was hoping the Vikings might take a chance on getting this guy at the right price. Extremely talented, I think he ran like a 4.5-4.6 40 yard sprint. He's also something like 6'4, 260. Could have made a nice tandem with Khalil Mack, but I guess it's all for the best if he's already retired and isn't even in shape to play yet. He was pretty solid for a little while there, I thought he was going to be a star.

What's scary is C.J. Mosely is eerily similar to McClain as far playing ability. I don't know, McClain just doesn't seem to have the NFL work ethic. He was a pretty damn good player at Alabama, but I am not so sure I would want to take a chance on him any longer.

Ndamukong Suh - DL - Lions

Bleacher Report reports the Lions have discussed trading Ndamukong Suh.

Reporter Mike Freeman makes it a point to say talks have been informal, and the Lions are just "exploring" what they could get in case long-term contract negotiations fizzle out. It's standard operating procedure. Suh currently counts over $22 million against the cap and is looking for an extension. It's unclear if he truly wants to stay in Detroit. Suh is skipping voluntary workouts this week.

I'd be thrilled if this developed and he was no longer in our division. Thrilled!

I agree, some how maybe with the Raiders, seems like a good fit.

Would you trade him straight up for Sharrif Floyd?

Absolutely!

Would you trade him straight up for Sharrif Floyd?

I would not really even consider it for several reasons. He is 3 years older than Floyd and has not even come close to the pre draft expectations that were heaped on him. He had a very nice rookie year (stat wise) but has for the most part has declined since that year. He is an extremely dirty player and has absorbed some very large fines for his "cheap-shot style of play. Kicking Schaub in the groin, stomping on Dietrich-Green's head (3) times and his arm http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-high ... uh-ejected . He seems very mentally unstable and unpredictable on the field.
That all being said, Floyd had a relatively disapointing rookie year but has all of the tools and skill sets needed to play the position. Myself, I would not even consider this ####-clown on the team let alone trade my last years first round pick for him. In conclussion, he will command mega-bucks to extend his contract (for the Lions) and whoever trades for or picks him up will be paying him a very high salary. All in all I am very pleased having Joseph and Floyd playing the inside and leave the maniac to some other team.
