This offseason, the Detroit Lions have the chance to sign one big free agent.
Now that teams are aware of the $30 million rise in the salary cap, general managers who have made wise signing decisions may afford to take a few chances with unrestricted free agents.
Ahead of the 2024 NFL combine, ESPN recently recommended risky actions for each of the 32 teams.
It has been much suggested that the Lions should upgrade their defence through free agency and the draft.
The Lions should pursue one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, according to writer Aaron Schatz, to bolster a pass-rushing squad that is in need of more strength.
“The Lions are in great position this offseason as a division champion that also has cap space to improve. As a result the Lions will probably be tied to every major free agent who’s available, especially on defence,” Schatz says. “There will be talk about a lot of veterans joining the Lions to try to break the curse and get them to the Super Bowl. But the best choice would be a player who already has won three of them: Jones of the Chiefs.”
