Detroit’s massive overhaul on offense this offseason is almost unprecedented.
Not only did the Detroit Lions lose their franchise quarterback, but the team also lost all three starting outside and slot wide receivers in a single offseason. Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., and Danny Amendola were all here one moment—and then gone the next.
An influx of players are here to replace the departed mainstays of the Lions, some for the better part of a decade, and it’s going to be jarring. It’s going to require an adjustment period. Detroit has invested heavily in its coaching staff, its offensive line, and is counting on outworking opponents to find success moving the ball.
