Well, it’s been quite a week here in Lions land. One minute we’re trading for a big-name player on the way to the playoffs, the next we’re having a fire sale on the way to a top-10 pick.
The reality is probably somewhere in between.
I don’t think the Damon Harrison Sr. or Golden Tate trades were connected in any way. In fact, I think the writing has been on the wall for Tate for a while. Once the Lions failed to offer him an offseason contract it became clear his time on the Lions was running out.
