Leshoure is looking at 4 games, Fairley could get suspended for as many as 8. He also faces the very real possibility of not being allowed to leave his home with the probation violation and fleeing charges. He could play in Detroit but not travel.
That pick is going to haunt the Lions for years. They could have had Mike Pouncey (who they liked a lot), Nate Solder (weren't going to take him that high though), Prince Amukamara (again, would have traded back), or Jimmy Smith (definite possibility at 13). There wasn't one person at Auburn that had Fairley's back regarding character, not one. He owed his agent and others more than his rookie contract could ever pay even before the Combine. Clearly all about the $$, just look at his Auburn career before his final season, he was a marginal starter on an iffy defense. Schwartz overestimated his locker room and his own ability to keep the troops in order. Playoff teams cannot afford to blow top 15 picks on obvious busts like that. Send the message now and waive him; it's not like he will ever offer anything to this team.
This just made me super depressed
could we trade him?
