Lions Diary

The Lions got busy in free agency today. Detroit signed TE Marcus Pollard and S Kenoy Kennedy to free agent deals this afternoon. Neither of these guys is headed for Canton, but both are upgrades at their respective positions. The contracts to both are also fairly cap friendly. It's hard not to like a cost-effective upgrade at two positions.

It's looking more and more like the Lions want Brad Johnson as their second team quarterback. If the Lions wanted Jeff Garcia, I think he would already have been here by now. Unless a deal with Johnson cannot get done, Garcia would appear to be out of the Lions' plans.

The guy I am most interested in right now is WR Corey Bradford. I would love to see the Lions ink Bradford as a slot receiver and release Az-Zahir Hakim. If the Lions can add Johnson and Bradford (please) to Kennedy and Pollard, they will have upgrade four positions in a week. It will also allow them to just grab the best player on the board when their pick, number ten overall, comes on Draft Day.
