Lions Sign Young Journeymen LB Gardner
March 26, 2008 on 8:41 am | In Uncategorized |The Lions continue to add cheap depth to their ‘08 roster. The Lions signed LB Gilbert Gardner, who previously played with the Colts (Dungy-Tampa-2) and Titans.
Gardner has been mostly a backup and special teamer, who plays outside linebacker. It is not clear if the Lions are going to try and play him in the middle, or if Paris Lenon will now return to the middle linebacker position.
In many ways, Gardner is a younger version of Lenon. He provides the Lions with a player who is familiar with the system who should upgrade their depth at the position.
I believe that by no means is Gardner the final solution in the linebacker group. I think the Lions will still strongly consider selecting a linebacker in the upcoming draft, too. Ho Hum.

Well, you seem crazy to me. The lions are in desparate need of a Wide Receiver. Just ask Mat Millen.

Thanks for your response, Danny. If Matt Millen drafts a WR in the upcoming draft, it may be time to call curtains on my Lions fandom. I’ll take a wait and see, but your joke is certainly rife with the trepidation of the possibility that they MIGHT actually do something that stupid.
