Matthew Judon to the Detroit Lions is a PERFECT Match!

Matthew Judon to the Detroit Lions is a PERFECT Match!

well we’ll start off by something that happened about three hours ago and it you know what Boer sometimes your prayers just get answered you know that’s just kind of how it works sometimes and you know uh I’ve been trying to find different ways to come up with ideas for at least a player that the Lions will acquire at the deadline at at the edge position specifically I already went through Hassan reck was kind of a miss you know we talked about it you told me to do some homework I brought Matthew judon the next day and it just so happens that Matthew judon tweeted out this GIF very subliminal all he put was all right I’mma head out and it’s the Spongebob meme of him getting up and walking out and we know that Matthew Judah has had contract negotiations with the Patriots he is up and he’s been very productive they can’t come to an agree so and he’s done this before he tweeted out something else probably a couple weeks ago and this is the next thing he’s putting out I think he’s itching closer him and the Patriots from from splitting up now I’m not doing this to say pay Matthew judon what I am saying is unless he wants a a deal right now there is that which the Lions I’m not saying the Lions should pay him so maybe they they can’t agree to that but if he’s looking for a place especially the place near where he played played college football to come back and compete for a Super Bowl the Lions of the perfect perfect spot booner imagine judon and Aiden Hutchinson we talk about the the amount of Havoc that those two alone would cause and I haven’t gotten to AE mcneel and DJ reader even for a rental booner he checks the the character trait like High character guy guys teammates love him he’s always he’s available I know he was a little banged up but that’s typically for his career he’s been healthy he’s not just a one trick pony he’s very good against the run very physical I I think the Lions would love that c I Know Dan especially would love that that type of player veteran what do you think what do you make of the of the judon stuff and and do you think that my dream of acquiring an edge at this deadline maybe just maybe will come true I Jeff honestly I don’t even think it’s a deadline situation I think like I think a Matthew judon situation something that comes before the season think about it they’re going through contract negotiations as soon as he knows hey this isn’t going to work out he’s either gonna ask out or they’re gonna find a contract situation and they’re going to say let’s extend you for a year or two or let’s let’s figure something out to patch this up or and if neither one like one of those has to happen and I think like a Matthew judan Jeff I know you brought him as his homework this is a guy for I think the last year before he even got hurt was someone that I think I’ve brought up we’ve all like this is a guy who has been in Michigan he went to West Bloomfield High School this is a local kid who like he would like if there was a team where he would say hey I will take like I will do a contract I will do a one or twoyear contract or I will take a little less money to come back and play for a team that I grew up rooting for and my family grew up rooting for and I can come back and make an impact and possibly win a Super Bowl there like that’s a dream come true for someone someone like him too who’s already been through he’s already had contracts in the NFL it’s not like this is his first deal he’s been successful in the NFL he’s done his time and now he’s in a position of Leverage to where if he wants to go somewhere where he’s GNA make a ton of money yeah he can go do that and I think he would like I’m not gonna um you know I’m not g to go at him for doing that if he wants to go somewhere that’s willing to pay him a ton of money uh because he wants to keep bringing money in for his family which great family I I threw it out there before I do know his brother so like they have a great family so they deserve all that money but I also do know that like I’m sure he would consider coming back to Detroit and being like yeah I would love to win a Super Bowl somewhere where that I grew up playing high school ball 30 minutes away and then somewhere where a couple hours away I went to college and played at a D2 college in Grand Valley State so like I don’t think it’s out of the the picture at all for an opportunity for the Detroit Lions to acquire Matthew judon now what will happen with the trade the trade assets and everything with that with the Patriots and Alliance I don’t know if that’s even been a question or if he’s like requested a trade or if that’s came up but I wouldn’t be shocked if that happened because like Jeff this man before he got hurt so I I think it was a collar bone I think he broke his collar bone last year that was the first significant injury he’s had in his career he went six straight years I think in six seasons he missed like two total games but he had in 2022 before he got hurt 15 and a half sacks and before that 12 and a half and before he got hurt last year he was on track to do that again and he had four so I think this is a guy like if you pair him up with eight Hutchinson that is one of the like scariest like I think aen Hutchinson is the top five Edge rusher already in the NFL and the healthy Matthew judon you could you could like you know he’s a top 20 guy so you you pair him up with those two guys together you have two top 20 guys that defensive line not even counting the DJ reer the elen McNeil like that’s a scary defensive line right there and now you have the secondary that’s a Super Bowl defense instantly I don’t see like if if judon was to request to trade and the lions were all in on that I don’t see him being like no I don’t want I don’t want that well you you got to think and this is uh the side of that I was thinking about today montz sweat in a contract year went for a second round pick now judah’s been more productive so I I a little older but still more productive last two seasons I don’t know what the assets maybe it’s a second maybe a third I I don’t know but this is what I do know is and me and dark flame agree 110% you think a Super Bowl appearance would help this man in free agency I know one thing sitting with the Patriots and playing out this year and and racking up a bunch of sacks on a bad roster it’s he’s still gonna get paid but man if you’re helping a team win a Super Bowl reach and win a Super Bowl and he’s productive and it’s going to give him some more motivation I mean you you think about you’re playing for something meaningful and he’s still going to get his money that’s that’s again I know the NFL it’s not always guarantee that guys get the exact money they want but for judon to come play with the Lions a place that he’s familiar with a place that he grew up and played for the Lions a Super Bowl Contender if they make a Super Bowl or win a Super Bowl and he’s one of their better defensive players oh my God he’s getting a contract like he he’s you know so it’s like Best of Both Worlds you get to compete for a Super Bowl play where where you grew up and you’ll still get paid I mean barring a significant injury which is always a I get that’s why guys want their contracts but he’s on the last year of his deal you don’t even have to resign him Boer I’m cool with a rental just to go chase the Super Bowl it’ll be worth it if you give up a second third round pick and you win a Super Bowl you can have a second third round pick I mean I I don’t at that point you got it and and you do see it as well and and there’s all the time players like Matthew judon who is very very respected and high level players in the NFL who get to a year 10 a year 11 and they’ll sign two or threee deals they’ll sign shorter term deals places where they want to be to try and win and on top of that to continue to prove yourself like he’s coming off an injury yeah like it’s an injury to where and it is a a a collarbone I believe so that’s that’s a tough injury but like yeah he wants to prove himself still and show that he could still go out there and get 15 12 sacks like he has in the past like I wouldn’t be against bringing him in and if he agrees to a two two-year deal and and and kind of and go with that especially when you’re going to pay hutch in a year or two like you you have an opportunity to do that and keep a very good uh defensive line together for for multiple years especially we talked about yesterday on the show The the window of the Detroit Lions I think there’s a five six year window but to you like to your point yesterday was there a two-year window where it’s you’re at your like your Peak to where you’re like you can seriously win right now why not add another piece like that like I think that’s what Brad has wanted to do like he Brad was in the conversation with denil Hunter at the trade deadline last year and it came out that he was talking with the Minnesota Vikings about bringing denil hunter in if Matthew judon somehow becomes available I know for a fact that he’s going to be talking to the to New England Patriots in regards to him too I think that’d be like you have to say yes to that I agree 100% it it’s something you at least have to pick up the phone and and call and I think Brad will do that at least just see I mean it seriously just at least see what he would go for I’d see Tyler judan would be our kawhai Leonard for the Raptors I mean I mean I see Steve too it’s a Super Bowl defense now without judon yeah but and I get it your biggest weakness you just added to that solve that yeah I mean he I’m sorry he’s better than anyone they have on the defensive line besides Aiden Hutchinson he just is he’s I mean he’s a guy who’s had you know what 27 sacks not this P counting out this past season where he was injured but the prior two seasons like dude he’s a uh very very productive player
