The Detroit Lions have made some small moves to add to their impending 2026 roster ahead of free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.
The team announced on Monday that they had signed running back Jacob Saylors, cornerback Nick Whiteside, and offensive lineman Michael Niese. They were all ERFA's, meaning that they were players under exclusive rights with the Lions, and less than three seasons in the NFL. They will all be signed with the team on league-minimum deals.
Bringing back Whiteside and Niese makes sense for this Lions roster considering their depth issues at both cornerback and on their offensive line.
