The Detroit Lions will have several new starters. How will the stunted offseason impact them?

Every NFL team experiences change in the offseason. But coming off another disappointing season, and posting a 3-12-1 record in 2019, the Detroit Lions figured to experience more than most. And the fact is fans of the Motor City will be seeing several new faces once the regular season kicks off for the Pride.

The Lions opted to part ways with several of their former starters this offseason. Names like left tackle Rick Wagner, cornerback Darius Slay, defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson, left guard Graham Glasgow, linebacker Devon Kennard, defensive tackle Damon Harrison, safety Tavon Wilson, and cornerback Rashaan Melvin all played significant roles for Detroit in 2019.
