The Detroit Lions have parted ways with two young players, offensive lineman Connor Galvin and defensive end Mitchell Agude, as free agency officially kicks off. This decision comes after the Lions tendered offers to two exclusive rights free agents, offensive lineman Michael Niese and linebacker Trevor Nowaske.
Galvin and Agude, both exclusive rights free agents, were not extended offers by the Lions, making them free agents. This move allows the team to create space on their roster and potentially make other moves in free agency.
The Lions have already been active in free agency, signing cornerback D.J. Reed to a three-year, $48 million deal and re-signing wide receiver Tim Patrick. They’ve also retained some of their own players, including defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike and linebacker Derrick Barnes.
By releasing Galvin and Agude, the Lions are giving themselves more flexibility to address other needs on their roster. The team has several areas of concern, including the defensive line and linebacker positions.
The Lions’ front office, led by general manager Brad Holmes, has been busy evaluating talent and making moves to improve the team. With the NFL draft just around the corner, the Lions will continue to shape their roster and build towards the upcoming season.
As free agency continues to unfold, the Lions will likely make more moves to bolster their roster. Fans will be keeping a close eye on the team’s transactions, hoping to see improvements in key areas.
