When free agency opens in just over a week, the Detroit Lions will have their hands full trying to use their modest available salary cap space to improve a team that was lacking in all departments by the end of 2019. Among the players searching for a new team are plenty of familiar faces, guys with notable previous stints on the team.
Some of these guys are still adored, others may be still abhorred, and to be honest, I’m not expecting a homecoming for any of them. Even so, the story of these players is in many ways the story of the Lions over the past ten years, and I’m sure at least the first one on this list would be welcomed back with open arms.
