Resetting Lions' needs after first wave of free agency and highlighting potential fits
In the first week of the new league year, the Detroit Lions have been busy plugging multiple roster holes. They’ve primarily accomplished this by re-signing their own free agents but have also added a few new names to the mix via the open market.
So that it’s fresh in your mind, let’s recap the deals:
Linebackers Derrick Barnes, Anthony Pittman and Trevor Nowaske, defensive tackles Levi Onwuzurike and Myles Adams, defensive end Marcus Davenport and wide receiver Tim Patrick have re-signed.
The team also has reportedly come to fresh agreements with offensive tackle Dan Skipper and running back Craig Reynolds.
In terms of new faces, the Lions signed cornerback D.J. Reed, defensive tackle Roy Lopez, linebacker Grant Stuard and quarterback Kyle Allen. Tight end Kenny Yeboah also reportedly agreed to terms.
So, where does that leave the roster?
