| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast. |
| 0:04.7 | I'm Joe Kenya with me as always is Eric Schlett from pride of Detroit.com. |
| 0:08.8 | Eric, it was a rough one against the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday, losing 31, 27 at what should be the friendly confines of Ford Field. |
| 0:18.0 | And the lions were dealt another blow, not the Lions so much as maybe the |
| 0:21.9 | fans of T.J. Hawkinson being traded to the first place, Minnesota Vikings. So there's a lot to |
| 0:27.5 | delve into, you know, what are your, what are your immediate thoughts? Well, let's, we'll get into |

| 1:22.9 | I think his 9.4 million guaranteed next year was a big part of the reason they were looking to move on from him. |
| 1:31.0 | They can do a lot of things with $9.4 million. |
| 1:33.9 | And so I believe the goal was to try and maximize the value they could for him. |
| 1:41.6 | They thought they could get more value now as opposed to in the |
| 1:45.2 | off season. They get that money off their cap. They weren't going to pay him probably what he |
