On the plus side, you could buy a 7,000 sq ft home for about $50k.

Yea and it would be right next door to burnt out homes on your left and right.  On the positive side, you only have to walk to the corner to pick up

your daily supply of crack sold by 13 year olds (24/7)

Never been, but I have a buddy who got lured into doing any away rotation at one of the hospitals, said it was absolutely terrifying. They had security guards walking the men from the hospital to the car.  He said if a gang member got shot, the rest of the gang would show up waiting outside the hospital for him to be released in order to finish off the job. And I thought my time spent up in North Philly near Temple Med was mad.  If I never make it there in my life, it'll be too soon.

Yeah, right?! Everyone knows what these GM's are thinking.

 

Guess Finley or Daniels are next up. Maybe get Finley on a 1 yr. deal..... Daniels could help as well.

Report: Detroit Lions retain Brandon Pettigrew
  •  
  • By Kevin Patra

Brandon Pettigrew isn't leaving Detroit.

The free agent tight end agreed to a four-year contract with the Lionsthe Detroit Free Press reported Friday.

The contract is reportedly worth $16 million, with $8 million guaranteed.

Pettigrew drew plenty of interest on the open market, with the New York JetsOakland Raiders andKansas City Chiefs among the teams inquiring about the veteran.

With the shallow tight end market picked clean, re-signing Pettigrew became a priority for Detroit. The combination of Pettigrew, Calvin Johnson and newly signed receiver Golden Tate can provide theLions with an explosive passing game. (We still expect them to add a receiver in a deep 2014 NFL Draft.)

It also comes at a price, as the Lions are paying a ton of money to those receiving targets.

It's not a surprise that Pettigrew, who is has expressed his willingness to be both a blocker and pass-catching tight end, earned $16 million on the open market. It's slightly surprising the Lions would make that deal given the money already tied up on offense and needs still looming on defensive.

Coming off his worst season since his rookie year, Pettigrew caught just 41 passes for 416 yards and two touchdowns in 2013. He should be a good chess piece for new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.

Pettigrew's blocking prowess was cited often during the courting process. While he was clearly the best blocking tight end on the Lions, his ability is a matter of perspective. The gentlemen over at Pro Football Focus didn't grade Pettigrew out well at all. He ranked as the website's No. 55 overall tight end in 2013 (out of 63). He graded negatively in every category except pass blocking and penalties. His run blocking ranked near the bottom as well.

Lions fans often became frustrated with the veteran's propensity to drop passes and some of his red zone targets were taken last season by rookie Joseph Fauria. However, it's clear from the contract that the Lions' front office felt they needed to bring the veteran back to solidify the position.
