Lions acquire veteran safety Simpson from Bills for 2010 draft pick

Associated Press

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions acquired safety Ko Simpson from the Buffalo Bills on Friday in exchange for an undisclosed 2010 draft pick.

The move came less than 24 hours after Simpson, a fourth-year NFL veteran, started the Bills' preseason finale against the Lions, who won 17-6.

Simpson played in all 16 games last season and had 66 tackles, but he missed most of 2007 because of a leg injury that he suffered in the season opener.

The Lions are thin at safety after placing Daniel Bullocks on season-ending injured reserve, and they had just four available players at the position Thursday night.

Detroit also released defensive end Orion Martin.

Now this is a quality player. He missed quite a bit in 2007 and didn't start all the games in 2008, but he's a player that can really contribute to that team. I asume that he'll be the starter right now, next to Louis Delmas. Don't think that he was too expensive either. A 5th or lower would be a very good trade, if you ask me.

Going to be interesting to see if Marquand Manuel makes their roster as well. And how much he'll play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (5h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (5h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (6h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (7h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (7h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

buckeyepackfan (8h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (14h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
