2026 Detroit Lions Offseason Thread

Good depth signing and glad to have Maddox back. He's the kind of depth piece you want to have around and a veteran presence who can start in a pinch as needed.

Too much salt for my tastes. 🧂 🧂 🧂

Yeah, for as much as Anzalone says "everyone knows this is a business," he sure acts like he wants it to be more than a business.

I feel for him. I'm sure he loved playing with Detroit and he was a good player and a good Lion. It is hard to see guys like him go, but it is the mark of a good team that they let good players go.

After the draft, there will be several more veterans released in money-moves (out with the old and expensive, in with the new and CHEAP!!!). But even now, there are several vets that are available and, after the draft and as we get closer to training camps... I think their prices will come way down and the Lions could consider one or two as veteran depth signings to add...

The most interesting to me (right now) are:

At WR (do we want one additional guy here?) it's Jauan Jennings and Deebo Samuel who are interesting to me.

At DE it's Cam Jordan and Jadeveon Clowney.

I don't know that there is a coverage LB'er out there right now that would pique my interest...

Anyone else or any other position we might be interested in, to add as a depth guy?

They need a 1 tech DT, I hope they bring back Reader. Then if Levi is actually healthy again that would give them a nice rotation and depth.

Right now if either Alim or Tyleik go down they only have Levi, who cannot be counted on. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a day three big body as well.

Wut?

[holygoat]

I really hope this isn't just bravado, because a healthy Kirby Joseph would mean the world to this team.

[Motown Bombers]

I’ll take a stab at this. Daddy in this case is Kerby Joseph. He’s going to be back, presumably playing football, and he’s going belt to ass. We can assume that is a metaphor for Joseph bringing the physicality required of a safety and not an Adrian Peterson situation. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Him saying "I luv u stink" has me thinking of Snakes from Home Alone for some reason. Who is Stink?

[Stanley70]

Is stink a person? Or not just sweating a lot playing football. 

If it's a person I'll guess it's Dan Skipper.
