Free Agents Worth a Lions Look
This is the deadest time of the calendar for the NFL, the weeks between OTAs and training camp. For current free agents, it’s a time to aggressively shop their wares to teams like the Detroit Lions.
The crop isn’t strong, but there are some potentially useful veterans on the street right now. The Lions still have some roster holes to fill, notably…
Power running back
Receiving tight end
Speedy WR with some size
Pass rushing DE/OLB
Defensive tackle
There are a handful of palatable options at each, though none which figure to be more than minor depth upgrades. Still, the Lions scored with guys like Rashean Mathis and George Johnson in this period in recent years.
