The Lions have needs across the board on both sides of the ball. Free Press sports writer Dave Birkett prioritizes their needs on a scale of 1-5 and takes a stab at what they do:
Quarterback (Need 1 out of 5)
On the roster: Matthew Stafford, Jake Rudock.
Lions free agents: Dan Orlovsky.
Top available free agents: Kirk Cousins, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon.
The Lions haven’t been serious players in the quarterback free-agent market in a decade and that’s not about to change anytime soon.
