The #Lions "made a below-market contract offer at the start of free agency and maintained minimal contact with Reynolds' camp in recent weeks" according to @davebirkett #OnePride
@davebirkett Do you think Josh Reynolds was the Lions Plan A? Sure doesn't sound like it to me...
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett So much for "we'd like to keep him."
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Didn’t they just talk to Holmes & MCDC at owners meeting? What I got out of it didn’t sound like there was minimal contact. Maybe I was wrong but not the vibe I got from listening.
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Guess take care of their own only apply to guys they draft
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Sounds like they gave Reynolds the opportunity to come back and he chose to leave? Offering him anything is more than I would have done. It was time for he and Raymond to go.
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Reynolds for $7M a year or a higher end WR in round 1 or 2 at less than half that? Easy decision.
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Sounds like they’ve been more than happy to go with their back up plan here, whatever that is
@LionsRoyalty @davebirkett Maybe a 1a, 1b situation or the comments the other day were more them being nice towards Reynolds
