Ojulari in the Crosshairs: Lions Eye Talented Young OLB

By Zicpraiz No Comments

The best remaining outside linebacker (OLB) free agent available for the Detroit Lions is Azeez Ojulari. He’s a talented young defender who has recorded 22 sacks and 37 quarterback hits in his first four seasons with the New York Giants. Ojulari is only 24 years old and has shown promising pass-rushing skills, with six sacks in just 11 games last season. Although he’s dealt with some injuries, including a torn ACL in high school and toe, ankle, and hamstring injuries in recent years, he could be a great addition to the Lions’ defense.

Other notable OLB free agents still available include:

  • Za’Darius Smith: Linked to the Lions but hasn’t signed yet.
  • Von Miller: Still one of the top pass-rushers in the league, but might be out of the Lions’ price range.

Detroit Lions’ Latest Signing Was a Crucial Move to Avoid The Detroit Lions made a major move in free agency, signing cornerback D.J. Reed to a three-year, $48 million deal. But it almost didn’t happen.

During his introductory press conference, Reed revealed that he was choosing between the Lions and the Washington Commanders. In the end, Detroit won out. “I wanted to get paid. I wanted to play with dogs,” Reed said. “I’m going to a great team and have a shot at that Lombardi.”

Reed brings toughness and proven production to the Lions’ secondary. He spent the last three seasons with the New York Jets, helping them maintain a top-four pass defense since 2022. Over 46 games, he racked up 220 tackles, 32 pass deflections, and two interceptions while consistently earning solid grades from Pro Football Focus.

The Lions needed a replacement after Carlton Davis signed with the Patriots, and they found a perfect fit. Reed describes himself as a scrappy, tenacious player who thrives in physical matchups—exactly the type of mentality Dan Campbell loves. His addition strengthens an already formidable secondary and helps the Lions take another step toward their Super Bowl aspirations.
