The Lions spent serious cash on EDGE Trey Flowers in free agency, luring him away from New England to the tune of a $90 million paycheck and reuniting him with his former defensive coordinator in Matt Patricia.
Flowers is a budding star (pun very much intended) with the potential to explode into one of the league’s premiere pass rushers in the 2019 season. The line is rooted in absolute units like Damon “Snacks” Harrison, A’Shawn Robinson, as well as Da’Shawn Hand, who quietly had a stellar rookie season.
The Lions splurged in the secondary as well this offseason, signing top nickel corner Justin Coleman, bringing in veteran Rashaan Melvin, and drafting rookie Amani Oruwariye, whose size and athleticism should push him into immediate playing time.
