Lions Hunting for Playoff Push in Free Agency

0:00On March 26, NFL free agency has quieted down, but the Detroit Lions are far from finished building their roster. They currently have 67 players signed, and with nine draft picks plus about a dozen undrafted free agents coming in, they're nearing the 90-man training camp limit. General manager Brad Holmes made it clear on a recent podcast that the team remains active and talks with agents right up to the draft. The Lions hold around $24 million in salary cap space, giving them flexibility despite needing five to six million for rookies, and wanting at least 15 million heading into the season. They could restructure deals if needed to open up more room. Fans might worry the covered is bare, but history shows Detroit often finds gems after the draft. Last year alone, they added linebackers that cunning ham in May, running back Jacob sailors in July, and claimed safety Thomas Harper off waivers in. August, other key vets like Teddy Bridgewater and John Kaminsky joined later too.

1:04This offseason brings even more options, with stars like Ed Rushers, Joey Bosa, and Hayson Reddick, defensive lineman, DJ Reader, and Calle Campbell, and others like Vaughn Miller and Bobby Wagner still available. These players could wait for post-draft chances. Expect the Lions to keep hunting for that final piece, blending free agency leftovers with their draft haul to push toward playoff contention.
