The Detroit Lions have reportedly agreed to terms with edge rusher Marcus Davenport on a one-year deal, reuniting him with coach Dan Campbell, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, and linebacker Alex Anzalone from their time in New Orleans.
Let’s take a look at how he fits in with the Lions’ roster and scheme, as well as how his addition will impact Detroit’s offseason plans.
Roster fit
The Lions have retained their top three edge rushers from last season, but with Romeo Okwara and Charles Harris unrestricted free agents (and Julian Okwara already departed), Detroit was in the market for a reliable fourth veteran to step into the rotation.
