Lions Face Key Secondary Decisions in Free Agency
As the Detroit Lions gear up for free agency, the secondary remains a major area of focus. With key players like Carlton Davis III and Ifeatu Melifonwu set to hit the market, the team must decide whether to re-sign them or explore other options.
Davis was a major asset before his late-season injury, but his durability is a concern. If Detroit moves on, Charvarius Ward (49ers) or D.J. Reed (Jets) could be solid alternatives. A reunion with Darius Slay on a short-term deal is also on the table.
At safety, Melifonwu’s injuries could push the Lions to look elsewhere, with Mike Edwards (Buccaneers) and Talanoa Hufanga (49ers) as intriguing fits.
With the secondary playing a crucial role in Detroit’s playoff push, these decisions will shape the team’s 2025 outlook.
