The Detroit Lions posted a disappointing 6-10 record last season, the first year under new head coach Matt Patricia. Clearly, the Lions needed to improve their roster. And they did so in free agency, making several impactful signings that figure to have the Motor City back on track in 2019.
But Detroit spent significant monies in order to do so. Here’s a list of their key free agent signings and their contracts.
Trey Flowers, DE – Five-year, $90 million contract; $40 million guaranteed
Justin Coleman, CB – Four-year, $36 million contract; $16 million guaranteed
Jesse James, TE – Four-year, $25 million contract; $11 million guaranteed
Danny Amendola, WR – One-year, $4.
