ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions enter 2021 NFL free agency coming off a 5-11 season in 2020 and have 18 unrestricted free agents.
The Lions could attempt to make some moves in free agency, but it doesn’t feel like the team will. That’s for a few different reasons, starting with not having that much room to maneuver under the cap considering the contract Jared Goff will bring on and the dead money hit Matthew Stafford’s deal will entail. Plus, this is not a team expected to contend immediately and general manager Brad Holmes has made it clear he’s going to build through the draft.
