Shopping for Used Parts

So, hey, free agency is upon us.

Quick and easy news - no one wants to come to Detroit. The end.

Okay, that's not fair, there are a couple of names going around. Bryant McFadden is reportedly interested, which okay, nothing great, but we need corners like a crack baby needs, well, crack I guess. And since the Lions supposedly tried to trade for Ken Lucas, only for Lucas to get wind of it and say OH JESUS LORD NO FUCK THAT SHIT(I'm guessing on the actual words, but there was probably crying and threats of suicide and general hysterics involved, which well, can't blame the guy, you know?), causing that deal to apparently be off the table, the Lions need to sign somebody - anybody - who can half competently play corner.

Nate Washington is reportedly close to a deal, which would be okay. We need a second receiver, and unless the Lions can kidnap TJ Houshmandzadeh(holy shit, I just tried to get the name in the ballpark and then went and checked the actual spelling and I was right the first time), and hold him at gunpoint for the whole season, we're probably not gonna do much better than Washington.

And then there's Derrick Dockery, a LG who's supposedly interested in signing with the Lions. The Lions need a LG(although to be fair, what don't they need), and if they can shore up a few spots, like LG, the number 2 WR and one of the CB spots before the draft, than hurray I suppose.

In short, nothing earth shattering here, but anyone who is a reasonably competent football player is more than welcome to try to wade through the aftermath of the football holocaust that just occurred along with the rest of us.
