Saw he was recently activated. Have to think with the season Goff is having with Detroit they might re-up him since next year is last year on contract. Hooker was heavily scouted by Schoen last year, and he seems like the kind of player that if given an opportunity could develop into a good starter. If we didn't go QB in round 1 but wanted to fill the position, I think I'd be willing to give up a 3rd for him to be a backup for a year and see if he outperforms Jones behind the scenes.
Not sure why they would let him go for just a 3rd the following year.
Remember when there were people who actually thought the Lions draft wasn’t awesome?
Or they get blown away with a deal. Everything has a price. But, bottom line, Hooker's staying put.
Not sure why they would let him go for just a 3rd the following year.
Exactly, why would they invest a 3rd into a player they know was going to basically have a redshirt rookie year to turn around a deal him for a 3rd? You invest the draft pick, a year of salary (i know not much as a 3rd) and then never give him a chance to contribute what you thought he could? I can't imagine any reason they'd feel the need to move on from him based on this year and to have invested a 3rd last year wouldn't they at least want a 2nd in return?
