We've reached the second half of February. Now it's time to start talking about free agent prospects for the Detroit Lions. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to break it all down by positions of need. First we'll put out of list of players to watch for the Lions and then we'll break down what each of those players can bring to the Lions and how much they'll cost to bring that in individual articles. Let's start off with edge rushers.

Josh Allen

You have to dream big to start things off. Allen was a monster for the Jaguars last season when he racked up 17.5 sacks. The franchise tag probability on him is high, but if he makes it to free agency, the Lions have to jump on him. 

The pros, cons and cost for the Lions to sign Josh Allen

Edge rusher day continues for us here AtoZ Detroit. This time we'll be talking about Jaguars Pro Bowler Josh Allen joining the Detroit Lions.  The Pros Allen had a huge 2023 in Jacksonville. He recorded 17.5 sacks, 90 pressures 54 hurries and 17 quarterbacks hits. This was by far Allen's best career season since he […]

Danielle Hunter

A favorite around here for sure. Hunter has been terrorizing the Lions for years and it would be nice to have him on their side for once. It would seem like maybe the Vikings are ready to finally do that rebuild thing, so they may be looking to part with Hunter to save money.

Brian Burns

A guy Lions fans really wanted at the trade deadline. The Panthers pulled him off the market then and they could do it again with a franchise tag. If they don't, my guess is that he's going to be looking for a new place to play. 

The pros, cons and cost for the Lions to sign Brian Burns

Burns has generated 46 sacks, […]

Bryce Huff

An intriguing option for sure. He managed to rack up eight sacks in 2023 despite not being a starter for the Jets. The reason he didn't start is because that Jet's line is loaded. He's a guy that could be looking for a starting role somewhere in 2024.

D.J. Wonnum

If you can't get Hunter, there's a cheaper alternative from the Vikings. A younger one too. Wonnum had 8 sacks in 14 starts for the Vikings last year. He's had 23 in 31 total games. He can get to the quarterback.
