The Detroit Lions had one of the busiest offseasons in the league. They threw around big money in free agency to lock up two offensive lineman for the future. They completely overhauled their front seven on defense. The Lions had nine draft picks and added a handful of undrafted rookies who ended up making the final roster.
But despite all of their flashy moves, it was a dinky one-year contract they handed out that has made the biggest difference through four weeks of the season. Tight end Darren Fells has been the best Lions newcomer this season in Detroit’s first four games.
