The Detroit Lions haven’t done too much in free agency, but their praise for the moves they have made continue. Earlier this week, PFF called Detroit’s moves “above average,” noting that Detroit has “taken calculated gambles in a few different areas but avoided spending huge money.”
One of those calculated gambles was the re-signing of edge defender Charles Harris. Last year, the Lions took a chance on the underperforming former first-round pick with a one-year, prove-it deal. Harris took on the challenge and produced his best season to date, notching 6.5 sacks while being one of the most efficient run defenders in the league.
