Quietly, the Detroit Lions still have a roster spot open on the 90-man roster. While there is no requirement for the Lions to carry a full roster to training camp, there’s little reason for Detroit to pass on the opportunity to fill the entire roster. Salary cap space is not an issue, so why not add one more player to the roster and maximize competition?
There are certainly still some talented players out there. Whether it’s the 2024 NFL free agents who chose not to sign in the spring or the remaining players from the UFL who haven’t yet been poached, the possibilities are bountiful for Detroit to add one more player to the roster.
