Kyle Vanden Bosch Agrees to a Four Year Deal with the Detroit Lions

The Boom King just announced on 104.5 here in Nashville that he has signed a 4 year deal with the Detroit Lions.  He said that Jim Schwartz called him at 11:00 and said that he was outside the gate of the neighborhood and that they talked until about 2. KVB also said that Schwartzy told him he expects him to be the same player he was for 2 years ago.  Good luck with that.

Vanden Bosch also said that he never knew where he stood with the Titans- saying they had one conversation before the season but hadn't heard anything since free agency started.  KVB also mentioned that his agent had talked to Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and Seattle.  I am tremendously glad he did not end up with the Jaguars.

While it is sad to see KVB go because he was so much fun to watch play, I can't fault the Titans for not wanting to give him 4 years.

4 years is too many

The man hasn’t shown that much in the past 2 years and has been injury prone at that. Good luck in Detroit though.

I think 4 is too much

But the Lions do need some veterans with attitudes for their other players to emulate, even if KVB isn’t the same guy he was a couple years ago they can probably still get a benefit.

Wow.

That is a bad move for Detroit. The Titans got so lucky with KVB. We scooped him up cheap right after his disappointing seasons, milked the best out of him for a few years, then BOOM, somebody takes him off our hands right when he’s lost him mojo. And it’s nice to see him go out with dignity, getting paid.

Thanks, Boom King.

And thank you, Jim Schwartz.

I think the Lions will like what they get from him

A solid veteran with a never stop engine, and someone who Schwartz has had in the system. Team him up with either Suh or McCoy and that line will finally give QBs some trouble. As a Titan fan I’m sorry to see him go, but I agree that fours years is too much.

I’ll take talent over this overused, meaningless cliches.

Come on man

It’s gut-check time: we have to go out and execute and not pull any punches. It’s time to hit it out of the park and answer the bell.

that's why KVB had so many sacks last year

He'll be fine in a system with either a dominant DT or a talented DE...

…on the opposite side. I see KVB being in the spot that somebody like Travis LaBoy was in before he left: he’s a guy that could probably play really well as long as he’s just getting single coverage and no added TE attention. But teams have been focusing on him here, and he’s just not the same guy he was.

Kampman + Suh + KVB

Maybe?

Hell, I couldn’t even name you a Lions lineman right now, so KVB has to be an upgrade, even at 57 years old.

All kidding aside, thanks for the memories KVB and good luck in the Motor City.

by TNTitans on Mar 5, 2010 10:25 AM CST up reply actions  

It could happen.

But who in that situation wouldn’t succeed?

win-win

This is a win-win for all. KVB had his best years under Schwartz so he would work well with that system. As much as I liked him his time in Nashville was over.

That might be the saddest thing of all

No more Indian kid in the KVB jersey.

Same here. And I still have to see if my KB jersey will be wearable as well.

So, anyone have ideas for who the new jersey should be? How long is Finnegan’s contract good for?

CJ, britt

theyre both on rookie contracts so they wont be cut soon

and titans jerseys are easy – mcnair and eddie. always wearable, always relevant. and i think KB is just about there with regards to a forever-jersey

The challenge is picking a number that won’t be used for a long time…
