ALLEN PARK, Mich. – As the legal tampering period begins within the NFL on Monday and teams can finally start to make more concrete plans to be on their roster, the turnover churn that will be the Detroit Lions can take some shape.
The Lions are not expected to be massive players in free agency due to a multitude of factors, including cap space, the reality of a rebuild and new general manager Brad Holmes’ stated plan he would prefer to build within the draft.
But Detroit does need players – the team, in reality, has either starting or depth questions at every position other than punter – and some of those solves will come from free agency.
