Earlier in the week, ESPN Mike Clay called the Detroit Lions the most improved team in the NFL after their offseason moves. It turns out Clay wasn’t the only NFL analyst who was a big fan of Detroit’s free agency and draft picks.
Former NFL executive and current writer for NFL.com Gil Brandt listed the five best offseason in the NFL this year, and the Detroit Lions came in at No. 4 on his list.
“The Lions’ most expensive offseason acquisition -- signing former Patriot Trey Flowers -- headlined a series of moves that should lead to improvement in Year 2 of the Matt Patricia-Bob Quinn pairing,” Brandt wrote.
