The Detroit Lions are gearing up for free agency, and Tim Twentyman has identified 10 players who could pique their interest. Here are the top contenders:
– *DT Milton Williams*: A rotational player with 5 sacks and 10 quarterback hits, but may come with a hefty price tag.
– *OLB/Edge Khalil Mack*: An 11-year veteran with 6 sacks and 15 QB hits, who could complement Aidan Hutchinson and Za’Darius Smith.
– *G Brandon Scherff*: A consistent performer with no sacks allowed in over 1,000 snaps, who could fill a gap if Kevin Zeitler isn’t re-signed.
– *Edge Dayo Odeyingbo*: A 6-foot-6, 286-pound edge rusher with 11 sacks and 34 QB hits over two seasons.
– *CB Darius Slay*: A veteran cornerback who could provide leadership and depth, with 11 PD and 2 INT in 14 starts.
– *DL Sebastian Joseph-Day*: A versatile defensive lineman who can play multiple positions, with 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 6 QB hits.
– *OLB/EDGE Azeez Ojulari*: A SAM linebacker and rotational edge rusher with 6 sacks in 11 games.
– *WR Josh Palmer*: A reliable veteran receiver with at least 500 receiving yards in each of the last three seasons.
– *DT Javon Kinlaw*: A defensive tackle with 40 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 5 TFL, who could offer a different skill set.
– *S Talanoa Hufanga*: A safety who could provide depth and a box-safety option, although he’s struggled with injuries.
