Titans MLB Kassell signs Lions offer sheet

The Lions have continued to make wise decisions this offseason. Brad Kassell, Titans Restricted Free Agent Middle Linebacker, has recently signed an offer sheet from the Lions. The Titans have a week to match the Lions offer. Since the Titans are the most financially strapped team in the entire league, their is a very good chance that Kassell will become a Lion. Kassell would not cost the Lions a draft pick because he was selected as an undrafted free agent. Kassell could potentially replace Earl Holmes, or provide them with even more quality depth in their linebacking corps. The perplexing part of this signing is that if the Lions were to select Texas Outside Linebacker Derrick Johnson with their first round pick, it would increase the necessity that Teddy Lehman learn to play Middle Linebacker, make the position very crowded on the depth chart. The addition of Kassell would make probable the eventual release of at least one of the following: Earl Holmes, Wali Rainer, “Dirty” Davis, or Donte Curry.

I have contributed another article to the Fantasy Football Experience website. Lion’s Draft Wish List I question whether the Lions will be fortunate enough to have Derrick Johnson or Mike Williams available at the #10 pick. That being said, if either player is available they would be excellent additions to the roster.
