DHB says the Lions are "very appealing"

I was thinking something like that too.

3 years for about 2 mil per.

He could very well be asking for more though.

Even if he gets a bigger offer elsewhere, it could be wise for him to come here for maybe a 2 year deal, eat up constant 1 on 1 coverage (assuming he doesnt disappoint) , and hit the market again. He'd only be 28 then.

3 years 7.5m with 1.5 year 1. Make 2.5 guaranteed overall, and his year 2 hit 2.0m. If he blossoms he's worth the 3.5 in year 3 easily. If not he is cut for free.

Tall, fast, something to prove....

Calvin 1,350 yards 13 TD
Burelson 700 yards 4 TD
DHB 700 yards 5 TD
Broyles 400 yards 2 TD

That is 3,100 from starting WR rotation without lofty expectations

Pettigrew 600 yards 5TD
Scheffler 275 yards 1 TD
Bush 350 yards receiving 2 TD
Leshoure 200 yards receiving 1 TD

That is roughly 4,500 yards 33 TD. Sounds about right with a nice run game

Bush 210 carries for 875 yards 4 TDs
Leshoure 175 carries 725 yards 8 TDs

1550 rushing, 12 TDs

Why isn't thus in DHB thread?

Anyways only for cheap should they consider him

We can leave this thread open for discussion. It's a DHB story, but it's different enough to hold its own. The other thread will fall to the second page soon, as he's already visited.

Wonder if he offers anything as a returner or gunner on ST.

Be a real sweet move if we could land DHB...

While he may not be the "perfect" WR, he does offer world-class speed and given that, he can stretch the field...with both him a CJ having that capability, teams are going to be forced to use both safeties in coverage leaving linebackers to cover TE and RB (Bush on a LB, I'll take that all day!)

CJ can't be constantly double-covered and DHB can be the second home-run hitter.

I think we could get him for 2-3 years, anywhere between $2 and $3.5 mil per.

Wise investment with huge potential return!

they usually say it takes 3 years for a WR to blossom. Last year was year 3, and he made great strides. He still has upside and will continue to improve.

Burelson can stop running our end arounds now Laughing

. He, CJ, and Bush would stretch the defense vertically and horizontally, Broyles, Pettigrew and Burelson would take advantage of the space in the middle.

Come to Detroit DHB!

I hear he's asking for 6 million per year.
