Challenge #1
Statement: Congratulations! You are now the owner of the Detroit Lions. They went an astounding 0-16 in the 2008 regular season, and need some strong leadership from the front office and head coach to get them back on track.

Challenge: You will come up with the best possible off season plan to get the Lions back on track. You will need to sign free agents, draft, and maybe even try to trade for players that fit the system. (Follow the format below when you email us)

Tips: When guiding the Lions to greatness, consider the following!
[list]
[*]Be realistic with your draft picks! If you get Andre Smith in the 2nd round you will be DQ'd!
[*]Be realistic in your Free Agency selections. Don't sign Julius Peppers for 1 year, $50 million!
[*]The Lions were 30th in total offense
[*]The Lions were 32nd in total defense
[*]Lions are $26 million under the cap
[/list]
