We are less than a week away from NFL free agency, and the Detroit Lions have a lot of cap space to work with this offseason. Spotrac has their total cap space (top-51 players) at around $54.3 million, which would be the seventh-highest amount in the NFL. Throughout his tenure, general manager Brad Holmes has been careful not to overspend on players, and while I think he will continue to make smart choices, the Lions are contenders now, so expect him to be extremely active in free agency this year.

Holmes has already started to bring some guys back internally, but there are still a few more names that we could see signing a deal before, or during free agency.
