Of course, if McFadden DOESN'T fall, Millen can always draft another wideout. Somewhere, Matt Millen has his fingers crossed, hoping that RB Darren McFadden falls to Detroit in the first round.

However, I can't imagine the Lions going into the season with Bell, Cason, and Calhoun as their RB's so if they could get SA cheap, that might be an option for them because who else is available, outside of the draft?

Come to think of it, K.J. would look awfully good in a Bears uniform and would have some extra incentive at least two games a year. A definite upgrade over Chicago's current crop of RBs!

Its a shame. He's a great talent, who has had a two bad injuries, but has shown potential when healthy to be a great back. Why all of a sudden cut him now? the cap space you save isn't worth it when you consider the potential he has. Another example of poor management by the lions. Bad move by the lions. Its a shame.
