Last week, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said that he’d love to have all of the team’s free agents, specifically linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who has shown some massive strides in his first real opportunities as a full-time defensive player.
But the Lions face an arguably more pressing decision with another soon-to-be free agent defender.
Safety Tracy Walker is in the final year of his rookie contract. The former third-round pick is having one of his best seasons—arguably his best—and in a struggling secondary filled with youth, Walker has provided some stability with 14 starts, 94 tackles, and a steady 64.
