Michael Rothstein of ESPN recently took a look at some of the best available free agents who could make sense for the Lions.
- According to Rothstein, while DT Johnathan Hankins could be an upgrade for their defensive line, his asking price is likely too high for him to be an option.
- One interesting suggestion from Rothstein is former first-round pick WR Michael Floyd. The Lions could use a tall, possession receiver like Floyd and they have some of his teammates from Notre Dame currently on their roster in Golden Tate and Theo Riddick.
