When the Detroit Lions kicked off free agency last offseason, their focus was clear. General manager Bob Quinn was intent on beefing up the Lions’ offensive line. Not only would improving this area of the roster help protect quarterback Matthew Stafford, but it should have also lifted what was a lackluster rushing attack in the Motor City.
A year later and the Lions’ offensive line was one of the bigger disappointments on a Detroit team that failed to make it back to the postseason. And the head coach that was in charge of leading this team in 2017, Jim Caldwell, is currently standing in an unemployment line somewhere.
