NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Coach Rod Marinelli looks to the sky and confuses Buck hunting season with Buc signing season

In one of the oddest set of player pickups in years, the Detroit Lions have signed 7 former Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the last two years.
It was strange last year to see ex-coach Mike Martz request and get several former St. Louis Rams. He claimed they knew his offense already. Evidently they did not, because he is gone to the 49ers.
This year and last, Coach Rod Marinelli keeps asking for former Bucs to visit Detroit and sign. Now some of them were not on the Bucs last year, but here is the list.

Lions coach Rod Marinelli, a former Tampa Bay assistant, sure loves former Buccaneers. Brian Kelly, above, is the seventh former Buc the Lions have signed since Marinelli became coach. Years with Tampa in parentheses.
• Jon Bradley, FB (2004-06)
• Chuck Darby, DT (2001-04)
• Brian Kelly, CB (1998-2007)
• Kalvin Pearson, S (2005-07)
• Corey Smith, DE (2002-04)
• Dwight Smith, S (2001-04)
• Dewayne White, DE (2003-06)

Marinelli claims he knows them already and what they can do, but it sure does seem as if a lot of them are in the downside of their careers.
Oh well, it is the Lions, so what do you expect.
When your GM is…Oh we don’t speak his name around here and it is not Lord Valdemort, you have to expect something strange.
The GM will go to the Matt for Marinelli and he is Millen those Bucs to become Lions.
