How about trading Osi for TE Brandon Pettigrew and a 2012 3rd round pick?

It would effectively give is a 3 year $2.9375m deal for Pettigrew

Pettigrew is stud blocker and reliable receiver, it also means we can clear some cap room for other positions.

The Lions have Scheffler and JJ Finley at TE, and you have to think that adding a stud DE lime Umenyiora to a DL featuring Suh, Hill, Fairley and Vanden Bosch could be enough to take out a very close division.

That would leave them thin because Scheffler is a FA. Although that would give them a hell of a dominant DL. I rather we see what Beckum and Bear have and get draft picks for Osi. At some point we're gonna have to depend on these young guys like Beatty, Beckum, and Sintim. I think this is the year we do it.
