Could a couple of big-name free agents help the Detroit Lions on the defensive line?

The biggest weakness remaining for the Detroit Lions roster has been labeled the front seven on defense. Does that mean the team will look to the free agent pool where a couple of big-name players are still available?

The answer comes down to dollar signs. While the Lions have plenty of cash left compared to the salary cap – $28 million according to Sportrac – they don’t seem interested in using it on the high price tags of players like defensive ends Jadeveon Clowney or Everson Griffen.
