Will Detroit Lions make a defensive splash in free agency?

We’re less than two months away from the start of free agency, but the Detroit Lions are surely looking over their roster and making a list of players to target. One notable hole on the roster will be the position vacated by fading star defensive end Ziggy Ansah.

While Ansah has been very talented and made some big impact plays for the Lions, he hasn’t managed to stay healthy. Head coach Matt Patricia was able to for his own defense around Ansah, but after playing on the expensive franchise tag for the season, it would be surprising if the 30-year-old is retained.
