NFL free agency is off and running, and we're keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2021 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year begins March 17 at 4 p.m. ET, which means free-agent signings can be made official after that. The first round of the 2021 NFL draft begins April 29 on ESPN.
The Lions are not expected to be big players in free agency this year for a multitude of reasons, including cap space and how new general manager Brad Holmes and new head coach Dan Campbell want to build the roster.
