I think the shine has worn off Pionk after that Colorado series.

Detroit may circle back if they can't sign Michigan boy Roy or re-sign Ghost.

Pionk would be plan A but I could see it

what would you want back in an ehlers trade in theory? of course its probably better to keep him and see if you can hammer out an extension. but ya know... rumors swirl. i heard chevy would accept free primanti bros and tickets to paul skenes first career start, but that was not from a very reliable source...

i know a 5th round pick isn't worth much. But I'd rather have the 5th round pick than a guy who played 28 games and got 1 point.
There are a whole slew of younger players that i'd rather give a chance at this point.

Would you be willing to retain somewhere between $1.5M and $1M on Pionk?

Me yes, the jets organization, doubtful

Resigning Seider and Raymond is going to eat up a lot of Detroit's cap space. Adding an RHD is something I think Detroit needs to do but keeping it under $5M is about as much cap space as they will have.
