Lions general manager Bob Quinn had a busy first few days of free agency. He patched some major holes upfront along the offensive line, and added talent and depth at other positions of need.
The signings of tackle Rick Wagner and guard T.J. Lang plug two veteran starters in place of Riley Reiff (signed with Vikings) and Larry Warford (Saints). Linebacker Paul Worrilow, defensive tackle Akeem Spence and defensive end Cornelius Washington add depth to the front seven on defense.
Cornerback D.J. Hayden could challenge Quandre Diggs or Nevin Lawson for their starting spots, and at the very least brings veteran depth to the position.
