The Detroit Lions could soon have some heavyweight company in their offensive line room. With injuries piling up in the trenches, the Lions have been named one of the best fits for a free-agent guard with one Pro Bowl appearance — and they’re not alone. The Denver Broncos are also rumored to be in the mix.
For Detroit, the interest makes perfect sense. Dan Campbell’s team has been scrambling to stabilize its interior offensive line following the loss of key starters. A veteran presence who’s already proven himself at the highest level could instantly provide leadership and reliability for a unit that’s struggled to protect Jared Goff in recent weeks.
As for the Broncos, their offensive front has been equally inconsistent, making the veteran guard a valuable potential addition. Both teams are eyeing playoff contention, and late-season reinforcements like this could make all the difference in a tight NFC and AFC race.
With the Lions’ offensive identity built on physicality and grit, bringing in a Pro Bowl-caliber guard could be just what they need to reignite their rhythm — and protect their shot at staying atop the NFC North.
