A Guess at the Detroit Lions 2013 Roster: Offense

I went over the cap by a few million counting the defense as well, but as we all know there are ways to get under the cap if you aren't too far off. I also didn't use all of the draft picks or fill all of the roster spots so I'll rework the whole roster over the next few days.

Here's what I think (hope) the Lions' offense looks like in 2013:


Offensive Total Cost for 2013: ~$69.5 million

Quarterback (2013: ~$17.5 mil)

Matthew Stafford (Extend contract, 6 years $80 million)

Shaun Hill (Signed through 2013, 2 years $5.5 million)

Kellen Moore (Signed through 2014, 3 years $1.44 million)

Offensive Line (2013: ~$18 mil)

Riley Reiff (Signed through 2015, 4 years $8 million)

Rob Sims (Signed through 2015, 5 years $8 million)

Dominic Raiola (Signed through 2013, 5 years 23.4 million)

Bill Nagy (Signed through 2014, 4 years $2 million)

Gosder Cherilus (Re-Sign, 5 years $25 million)

Jason Fox (Tender at original round, $1.3 million)

Geoff Schwartz (Sign, 2 years $2.5 million)

Tight End (2013:  ~$6.5 mil)

Brandon Pettigrew (Signed through 2013, 5 year $14.6 million)

Brian Hartline (Sign, 3 years $15 million)

Nate Burleson (Restructure/Extend Contract, 4 years $10 million)

Ryan Broyles (Signed through 2015, 4 years $2.68 million)

Marquise Goodwin (Draft 3rd Round, 4 years $2.75 million)

Running Back (2013: ~ $5.5 million)

Reggie Bush (Sign, 3 years $9 million)
