Quote:OK maybe I meant Mike Thomas. Was he ever a Lion?

 

That sucks about former Jaguars being put on IR. Hopefully they will be OK next year.

 

So the only former Jaguars to watch are 31, 32, and 99? Pathetic.

 

Mike Thomas was traded in October, 2012 to the Lions for a 5th Round pick in 2014.  It turned out to be arguably Gene Smith's best trade and Martin Mayhew's worst trade.   Thomas was a flop with the Lions,  both last season and this summer.   Thomas was cut before the Lions even went down to 75 players,  despite the trade compensation that was given up for him.   Thomas was with the Cardinals after that but didn't last long.   I noticed at least one team brought him in for a workout/ tryout in recent weeks.

 

There were two other former Jaguars on the Lions roster last season that I can think of at this time:  LB Justin Durant and Special Teams Ace Kassim Osgood. Durant signed with the Cowboys as an UFA.   Osgood signed with the 49ers as an UFA.  The Lions didn't seem to make a serious attempt to re-sign either player.

 

Only 3 former Jaguars?   How many other NFL teams have 3 former Jaguars that are on their Game Day Roster each week when relatively healthy?    My guess is VERY few.
