This offseason, the Detroit Lions moved on from over a dozen players from the 2023 team and practice squad who ended up signing free agency deals with other teams. With roster cuts coming down on Tuesday, many of those players did not end up sticking around with their new team. Of course, it’s quite possible they’ll find their way back onto their team’s practice squad or another roster entirely.
But for now, here’s a look at the status of the notable players who left the Lions this offseason.

- TE Zach Ertz — Made the Commanders roster
