NFL free agency rumor: Detroit Lions in play for huge signing at defensive tackle?

The negotiating period for free agency is set to begin at Noon ET on Monday, and while most believe the Detroit Lions will be active players at the cornerback position, the latest free agency rumors from ESPN’s Dan Graziano suggest the Lions could make a huge splash at defensive tackle.

Per Graziano, he expects the Lions and Houston Texans to potentially be contending to land Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

“After Chris Jones landed a big deal on Saturday night, Miami’s Christian Wilkins is likely to be a hot name, with contending teams such as the Texans and Lions looking to upgrade at that position,” Graziano wrote on Sunday morning.
