Scenes from the Roar Zone Thanksgiving

Lions take over first place and have a magic number of three. This would be the first division championship since 1993. The Lions have never won the NFC North.

Detroit Lions trade for CB Johnthan Banks, Armonty Bryant Suspended

Detroit Lions trade a 7th round pick in 2018 for Tampa Bay CB Johnthan Banks. I rated him as a 2nd round pick in 2013. I had a better grade on him than I did on Slay in 2013. He lost his starting job halfway thru 2015. The Lions need help everywhere on defense so this is a low risk move.

Here is a tribute:

50 games 37 starts
130 tackles 7 int 1 td

Welcome to Detroit

DE Armonty Bryant was suspended for the second time this season. The first was for PED for 4 games, this for a incident in the summer 2015 for 3 games. He is scheduled to return after Thanksgiving. Should mean more time for Anthony Zettel

3 Sacks Fro Bryant 

Detroit Lions trade LB Kyle Van Noy and re-sign Josh Bynes

Detroit Lions trade LB Kyle Van Noy and a 7th round pick to New England for a 6th round pick. Van Noy, a 2nd round pick in 2014, really struggled in the NFL. He never showed the play making ability or nose for the ball he had at BYU.

Here is a tribute:

30 games 7 starts 39 tackles 1 PBU 1 sack

Ms. Van Noy

Good luck KVN

Lions re-sign LB Josh Bynes. Bynes was injured during the preseason and is now eligible to return. He was signed off the Ravens practice squad in 2014. Should be an upgrade to the guys the lIons have started this season.

29 games 11 starts in Detroit
104 tackles 1 int 5 PBU

Welcome back to Detroit

Detroit Lions sign RB Justin Forsett

Lions 30 year old 9 year veteran RB Justin Forsett. Forsett had a big year in 2014 with over 1244 yards and 5.4 ave. Probably has fallen off the running back cliff. Can catch and is good on ball security. Played in 2 games rushed 38 yards. Waived 12/2 cliamed by Denver

Here is a tribute:

764/3697/18 rush
201/1302/1 rec
1 fumble lost

Lions waive Steve Longa
