Detroit Lions free agency preview: Wide receivers and tight ends

NFL free agency opens in a little more than two weeks, and the Detroit Lions need help at a myriad of positions on both sides of the ball. Here is the second in a series of position-by-position breakdowns of the top players available in free agency.

Wide receivers/tight ends

The Lions made one big splash in free agency last year, signing Marvin Jones to a five-year, $40-million deal, and they're in the market for another weapon or two for their passing game. Given the money invested in Jones and Golden Tate, it seems unlikely that the Lions will spend big at wide receiver, but they do have openings, with Anquan Boldin and Andre Roberts ticketed for free agency.
