With all the talk of cap casualties heading into this offseason, T.J. Lang was one of the most talked-about names the Lions might cut ties with in order to free up some additional cap space. Before the start of free agency, the Lions did just that, releasing Lang after two seasons in Detroit and putting the team in need of a right guard for the 2019 season.
Detroit spent the beginning of free agency bolstering their defense. Signing Trey Flowers and Justin Coleman to lucrative deals shored up some of their most pressing needs, but after the first two weeks of free agency, the Lions are still without a starting right guard.
