Backus Agrees to a One Year Contract
May 16, 2006 on 1:55 pm | In Uncategorized |OT Jeff Backus agreed to a one year contract yesterday. The Lions will be unable to use the “franchise” tag on him next season so if they are unable to negotiate a long term contract he will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2006 season. As inconsistent as Backus as has been, he has been very dependable and durable. He will be a desirable free agent on the open market in the future if the team is unable to lock him up with a long term contract. Hopefully, he and the Lions can find a way to come to a mutual agreement.

Well, well, well….the proverbial cat is out of the bag. We’re learning this morning here in D-Town who the three cry-babies are (actually, only two are really to blame…one is Hall - the players rep)who feel that their multi-million dollar contracts don’t require April time frame dedication. Although he ain’t goin’ nowhere (to quote Mr. Dylan), Mr. Rogers aught be embarrased by this!
