One of the more interesting developments in the Detroit Lions’ early offseason was their signing of CFL’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player Mathieu Betts. The former BC Lion exploded in 2023 with an 18-sack performance, and many are curious how much of his game will translate to the NFL. Even more curious is the fact that Betts turned down guaranteed money from at least one other NFL team to join the Lions. Does Detroit have a specific plan for him?
The Lions could certainly use some additional pass rush after finishing the season tied for 23rd in sacks.
