Jared Odrick, cut by Jaguars, would be a good fit with Detroit

When he signed with Jacksonville two years ago, Jared Odrick's name would often pop up as a potential free-agent candidate for the Detroit Lions. Now, two years later, Odrick is once again available after the Jaguars released him Monday.

And once again, the Lions should investigate the defensive lineman.

Odrick, 29, wouldn’t be the sexiest signing. But as long as he’s healthy -- he had shoulder and elbow injuries last season -- he would be a fit for Detroit's aggressive front four that prides itself on rotation and versatility. Odrick could come at the right price, too, as he is coming off injuries.
