The Detroit Lions made great strides on offense this offseason. The franchise wisely focused on bolstering the offensive line by adding two big free agents: guard, TJ Lang, and tackle, Ricky Wagner. Detroit also added Darren Fells (tight end) and Keshawn Martin (wide receiver/kick returner) to the offensive arsenal. Longtime long snapper, Don Muhlbach, was recently re-signed as well.
While the team has signed a plethora of players on the defensive side of the ball this free agency period as well – Paul Worrilow, Akeem Spence, Cornelius Washington, DJ Hayden and Jordan Hill – not a single one of them was a full-time starter in 2016.
