The Detroit Lions currently have 66 players under contract, leaving 24 open spots on their 90-man roster. To fill these gaps, they’ll likely use a combination of veteran signings, draft picks, and undrafted rookies.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Quarterback: The Lions already have four quarterbacks under contract, so they don’t need to make any moves here unless they see an opportunity to upgrade.
- Running Back: The Lions typically enter training camp with at least six running backs on their roster. They’ll likely add two more to provide depth and competition.
- Wide Receiver: The Lions are expected to target a WR-X in the draft, and they may also add more competition at the position to push their current receivers.
- Tight End: The Lions may look to add a blocking tight end to their roster, as well as bring in extra competition for the TE3 spot.
- Offensive Line: With six offensive tackles already on the roster, the Lions may focus on upgrading their depth or adding more competition at the guard position.
- Defensive Needs: The Lions have several defensive needs to address, including:
- A pass-rushing defensive tackle
- Another edge rusher
- A future-minded linebacker
- Additional cornerbacks
- A third safety to replace Ifeatu Melifonwu
- Special Teams: The Lions seem set with their kicker, punter, and long snapper, but they may bring in camp competition to push these players.
By addressing these areas of need, the Lions can build a more complete and competitive roster heading into the 2025 season.
