The Detroit Lions have bigger fish to fry right now than their 2026 NFL free agent class, but the more the team struggles, the more you start to get nervous about the players who will no longer be helping this team make a championship run after the 2025 season.
You can always make moves to add salary cap space, but the Lions already are in a tough spot with just under $17.8 million in projected space, ranking 23rd in the NFL. When you combine that number with all of the team's weaknesses and the fact that there are 21 projected unrestricted free agents currently on the roster, you can already see some difficult decisions on the horizon.
