The Detroit Lions are reportedly re-signing a pair of veteran linebackers, although the specific names haven’t been announced yet. However, based on recent reports, it’s likely that one of them is Derrick Barnes, who has been a reliable and versatile linebacker for the Lions.
Barnes has been a key contributor to the Lions’ defense, providing stability and leadership. His re-signing would be a significant move for the team, especially considering the numerous free agents they need to address this offseason.
The Lions have around $46 million to spend this offseason, with several key players set to become free agents. With 29 players hitting free agency, General Manager Brad Holmes has his work cut out for him.
Some of the Lions’ top free agent priorities include:
- Derrick Barnes: The veteran linebacker has been a key contributor to the Lions’ defense.
- Kevin Zeitler: The veteran guard has been a consistent performer for the Lions.
- Levi Onwuzurike: The defensive lineman showed positional versatility and was solid against the run.
- Tim Patrick: The wide receiver was a reliable option for Jared Goff last season.
The Lions will need to make some tough decisions this offseason, but re-signing their veteran linebackers would be a significant step in maintaining stability on defense.
