The offseason of 2009 was an exciting one. I mean, yeah, the Detroit Lions were just coming off the worst single season performance in NFL history, one that hadn’t occurred before or since without involving a world war, strike, or expansion, but it was exciting nonetheless. The team was rebuilding, something they hadn’t done in nearly a decade, having instead spent the 2000s digging the deepest hole the league had ever seen. Most folks, many here at SideLion Report included, believe this present team still has too much talent to fall back to rebuilding mode. The Detroit Lions, under newly vocal owner Martha Ford, disagree and are rebuilding anyway.
