The Detroit Lions have 28 players who are set to become free agents at the start of the new league year in mid-March. Of those 28, 18 are unrestricted—meaning if the Lions don’t come to an agreement with those players by March 13, they can start negotiating with other teams.
We’ve already heard from plenty of Lions free agents publicly expressing their desire to come back to Detroit, and we know general manager Brad Holmes likes to keep around players that fit the team’s culture. So it’s quite possible many of those players come back.
