The Detroit Lions had a lot of needs in the defensive backfield entering the 2019 offseason. The release of both Nevin Lawson and Glover Quin felt inevitable, and Bob Quinn would be tasked with finding three new starters in the team’s backfield between free agency and the draft.
They found their first, and possibly best, new starter at the beginning of free agency when they signed former Seattle Seahawks corner Justin Coleman to a deal worth $36 million over four years.
Coleman went undrafted in 2015, but was initially signed by the Minnesota Vikings.
