A lot of Detroit Lions fans have been screaming that one of the team’s most underrated needs is a linebacker. Well, it looks like the team knows it. According to a report from ESPN’s Field Yates (via Mike Triplett), the Lions have hosted former Saints linebacker Manti Te’o for a visit:
Lions hosted Saints free agent LB Manti Te’o on a visit, per @FieldYates. Te’o had also scheduled a visit with the Raiders, per @RapSheet. Probably expendable in New Orleans because of depth at middle LB, but still a quality player.
