EDTShareTweetShareShareFriday open thread: Should the Detroit Lions have matched the Seahawks’ offer for Ezekiel Ansah?Photo by Leon Halip/Getty ImagesEzekiel Ansah is headed to the Seattle Seahawks, and that means one of the most crucial players on the Detroit Lions defense over the past few five years will be playing for another NFL team for the first time in his career. It seems like most Lions fans had come to terms with Ansah’s departure. His lack of availability frustrated the fanbase almost as much as it seemed to frustrate Ansah himself. Now that we know many—but not all—of Ansah’s contract terms with the Seahawks, it’s time to evaluate whether the Lions should have given Ansah one more chance in Detroit to see if he could turn his luck around. Today’s Question of the Day is:Given his contract terms in Seattle, should the Lions have re-signed Ansah?My answer: Here’s what we know about Ansah’s deal so far.According to ESPN, Ansah is receiving $5.5 million guaranteed with around $8 million extra to earn in incentives. Ian Rapoport notes that Ansah’s base salary is $9 million. That’s obviously a significant discount compared to last year, when Ansah played on the franchise tag worth $17.1 million. But even $5.5 million guaranteed is a calculated risk, especially when Adam Schefter is reporting that Ansah could potentially miss the first month of the regular season... or more: In the end, I am completely fine with the Lions moving on from Ansah. While he’s a great story Womens Teez Tabor Jersey , a great player and seemingly a great guy, there’s just too much risk involved in counting on him to play for the team. I feel much better about the defensive end position the way the Lions have addressed it this offseason.Your turn. By the end of the day, the Detroit Lions’ 2018 season will be over. No more practices, no more gameplanning, no more On Paper, and no more Lions gameday until September. It’s been a rough transition year for Lions fans. Not only is it tough to see your team go from 9-7 contender to 5-10 irrelevancy, but the move from Jim Caldwell to Matt Patricia has been stark. Of course, Patricia’s poor start already has some Lions fans playing revisionist history about the Caldwell era http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-bellore-jersey , but there is something to be said for consistent competitiveness over... well, over whatever we have now. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of thinkpieces about what the future holds in Detroit, but for now, today’s Question of the Day is:What is the primary emotion you’ll feel once the Lions 2018 season is over? My answer: Disappointment with a little bit of relief.I’m never one to welcome the offseason. Even when the Lions went 0-16 in 2008, I watched to the very end because I live by the very simple code: Football > No Football. But this year has been a challenge. The last month of Lions football has been borderline unwatchable. The offense is toothless, and while the Lions defense is improving, they’re still allowing some bad quarterbacks do some things that bad quarterbacks shouldn’t be able to do. I don’t think I’ve been this unenthusiastic for a season finale in a long, long time. And so I’m sure there will be a brief moment in which I’m relieved that I don’t have to write another 1 http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-jarrad-davis-jersey ,500-word preview about this—let’s be honest—boring team. However, that will be extremely short-lived, as I realize the next four months involve endless speculation about free agency, and way more mock drafts than this world needs. Well, at least we’ll still have playoff games to watch before then... Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
