Mulitalo agrees to terms on three-year deal with Lions

The Lions have reached an agreement with free agent guard Edwin Mulitalo on a three-year deal and an announcement will be made as soon as the documents are signed.

The addition of Mulitalo puts Damien Woody on even thinner ice. Woody, who lost more than 30 pounds and reported in good shape to the off-season workouts, has a cap number of $6 million for the 2007 season. The Lions could save $3 million in cap space this season if Woody is released after June 1.

The Lions are still hoping Woody will get his act togther and the combination of Mulitalo and a athletic and agile Woody would give the Lions some real strength on the interior of the offensive line. If the Lions like the way Woody is performing through the off-season workouts and training camp, don't be surprised if they go to him and try to restructure his deal to make his cap hit less brutal.

The Lions also signed free agent guard Zach Piller, who has starting experience in the league. The Lions now have a lot of depth at guard with Mulitalo, Woody, Piller, Barry Stokes and two young prospects Frank Davis and Stephen Peterman.

Mulitalo was a seven-year starter for the Baltimore Ravens before becoming a free agent in the off-season.

There is no way I can see the Lions drafting Thomas with what they have done this off-season

I'm sure there are fan's of teams (cards) who are saying the same thing about us.

I bet that if you go to the the boards of teams below us, someone is saying that we won't draft Thomas because we drafted Stienbach and the plan is to move him to LT and stick McKinney at LG.. I bet it's been said... LOL

With the number of sacks they gave up last year, this should be a surprise to no one. It would not be unresaonable to see 3 or 4 of their OL change.

Lions have sorda suprised me this offseason, maybe Millen finally got his head out of his ass No, wait, offseason ain't over yet, he can still screw up

at some point a team has to make it to the playoffs... even if it is dumb luck.
