What better time for Tim Twentyman and Mike O’Hara to look at the Detroit Lions’ free-agent needs with the NFL’s “legal tampering” period starting in earnest on Monday?
Teams have two days to talk to court potential free agents and begin preliminary contract talks in advance of the official signing period starting on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
It’s already been a volatile offseason, with signings and trades arranged that can become official on Wednesday.
In the Lions’ case, it has been relatively quiet – so far – but all that can change with one phone call or a few strokes of the negotiating pen.
