The Detroit Lions have five active safeties on their roster, but come 2022, we could see a complete overhaul of the position group.
While the cornerback group has suffered injury after injury, the safeties have remained fairly healthy all season, but that hasn’t resulted in many positives. As barren as the Lions roster is, safety is a position that needs to be addressed significantly this offseason. With pending free agents and poor play aplenty, it may be a difficult and costly rework.
The star of the defense this year has been Tracy Walker. He has played at a Pro Bowl-level, although he is unlikely to garner the fan vote needed to attend.
