Peterson & Ernie Sims should make a nice Linebacker duo in Detroit....

The Lions need as much help as they can on defense. Nice pick up for them.

Trade their only good runstopper and defensive captain..... don't get me wrong Peterson is a good player but wow i don't like this at all. Peterson is scheduled to make a shitload of money too and he's gonna be 31 by the start of next season. Now all they need to do is draft Stafford at #1! Idiots! hno:

If Cliff Avril plays LB, then him, Simms, and Peterson could possibly form the best LB trio in the NFC.

Detriot will need lineman in front of them though, and they will need to get rid of that half baked shithead quarterback culpecker.
