The Detroit Lions have made notable moves during the early part of the 2025 free agency period. While cornerback D.J. Reed is often hailed as the best acquisition, the Lions have also secured other players like defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike and veteran receiver Tim Patrick. Reed is expected to fill the gap left by Carlton Davis, bringing a gritty, physical presence to the secondary. While some fans had hoped the team would acquire edge rusher Dayo Odeyingbo or Josh Sweat, the Lions appear committed to solidifying other positions and enhancing their defense. The jury is still out on whether the Lions made the right call in not re-signing offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler, but their trust in young players like Christian Mahogany suggests they are looking toward the future.
