Jets Poaching Lions Talent? Aaron Glenn Reportedly Targeting Derrick Barnes in Free Agency
The Detroit Lions’ coaching exodus continues, and now their roster could take a hit too. New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, who previously served as Detroit’s defensive coordinator, is reportedly eyeing linebacker Derrick Barnes in free agency.
Barnes, a key contributor in 2024 before a knee injury ended his season, could bring familiarity and leadership to Glenn’s defensive scheme in New York. While the Lions have the cap space to retain talent, the Jets—and even the Bears—may continue raiding Detroit’s ranks as their former coaches rebuild elsewhere.
