Still surprised he's still out there:

Exploring Detroit Lions reported interest in Matthew Judon

There are a number of reasons the Lions could be talking about Judon. Let's talk about them.

Me too - although given his years and mileage, his agent might be smart to play the card of waiting until there are injuries in camp before signing.

I'd guess there's been some interest in him - but perhaps not at the right price for him.

It's probably a wise bet as there's always injuries.

 

[Pape]

Always liked Judon, despite last years camp hijinx... hope he catches on with a good team...

For Judon I think, after trading down, we drafted Wilson and still have an early 2026 4th round pick. I think we won that trade.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wants decent $.
He'll be a good pickup for someone.

 

[signbabybrady]

We could use him but I wouldn't want to pay him or promise him reps ahead of anyone.

Depends on how Swinson looks. If he looks promising then we should let him play, not sit behind Judon.

 

[TommyD4207]

He'll be an excellent signing for a contender.

Judon needs to go to a team that will not over use him, and allow him to get after the QB only. no longer a 3 down player imo, and will have to accept a salary commensurate with that

Jordon isn’t leaving Bill…unless she figures out how much money the Fords have.

Can't be true.

Even the board experts screamed we didn't get enough!

We got Bradyn Swinson too in the trade down.

Yea I feel like he would feast on a D like Detroit

Elijah Ponder is also a really athletic rookie prospect at OLB. I don’t think spending on Judon is in the cards. It’s probably the deepest position on the team.

End of the day is a business. Judon seems justified in trying to get more money now. Never know when you'll be washed up over night.

have no issues with the "hold in"... players should try to earn every dollar they can...

had issue with the flippant behavior on the practice field... didn't (still don't) appreciate him being distraction like that...

He’s toast. When the guys who rely on speed and quickness drop off they go really fast.

Bill must be busy in North Carolina because I saw Jordan eating lobster and feeding raw oysters to Noam Chomsky in Old Orchard Beach last weekend.

Agreed. I always liked him more than most seemed to.

The guy has made $74.6 Million over a 9 year career where he only played in 5 total playoff games (where he basically disappeared) and is going to be 33 in two weeks. He should thank his lucky stars that he has made so much for so little production. Unless his money management is absolute crap, he shouldn't be worried about money at this point. Health? Sure. But not money.
