The Detroit Lions offense could look drastically different this season. Although the team retained offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter this offseason, they spent their first two draft picks on that side of the ball in an effort to pull their running game from the basement, and made quite a few other changes on the coaching staff.
Improving the offense was clearly a big goal this spring, but if there’s a position that is no better off than it was last year, it’s at tight end. The Lions cut ties with former 10th-overall pick Eric Ebron and his backup, the versatile Darren Fells.
