Detroit Lions free agency: Expiring contracts at edge rusher

Defense saved the Detroit Lions on many occasions this past season. Even though they were among the top teams in sacks, they were one of the worst pressuring the quarterback.

A combination of the draft and free agency will do the trick to improve the defensive end/outside linebacker position. Are any players from 2018 set to return? Here are my thoughts.

Ziggy Ansah

Unarguably, no pass rusher was better and as frustrating as Ansah. A shoulder ailment limited his season and it painted a pretty unclear picture of his future.

It hasn’t been completely ruled out he wouldn’t return.
