It’s no secret that playing for the Detroit Lions isn’t exactly viewed as the premier landing spot for many potential free agents. After years of losing, front office mismanagement, draft busts, a severe lack of playoff wins, posting an 0-16 record in 2008, and even more dysfunction; the Lions haven’t made themselves very attractive.
And this offseason may be worse than others. Top-tier free agents like defensive tackle Mike Daniels and defensive end Trey Flowers have expressed their interest in coming to Detroit specifically due to the presence of third-year head coach Matt Patricia.
