As we inch closer to the upcoming NFL Draft, it’s time to move our attention to the linebacker position.
The Detroit Lions addressed the position in free agency by re-signing LB Alex Anzalone to a three-year deal for $18.3 million ($9 million guaranteed). As explained by our own Erik Schlitt on the roster implications of this signing, the Lions got back their starting MIKE linebacker in Anzalone by securing him for at least another couple of years.
They also have second-year LB Malcolm Rodriguez starting beside him as their WILL linebacker.
