Dan Campbell needed just 2 words to explain why Lions are passing on Za'Darius Smith

The Detroit Lions added some firepower in free agency this offseason, bringing in cornerback D.J. Reed to support Terrion Arnold in the secondary, signing newly-minted team captain Grant Stuard as a special teams ace and linebacker depth piece, as well as bringing back Graham Glasgow just in time for Frank Ragnow's sudden retirement from the NFL.

Clearly, the front office did their job and filled some holes. One hole that many thought they would fill in free agency, though, was at the pass rush opposite Aidan Hutchinson. However, there wasn't consideration for the fact that Marcus Davenport is still with the Lions, and made it his mission to remain healthy this offseason in order to become that solution at the EDGE.
