With their resources, the Detroit Lions might be major players in free agency.
Currently holding the eighth-most cap space in the league is general manager Brad Holmes. Detroit could be in a position to make a significant move ahead of the free agency period beginning on March 13 in order to contend for the Super Bowl in 2024.
One of the best players who might be available is L’Jarius Sneed, a cornerback for Kansas City. He will not be eligible for free agency since the Chiefs have placed him under the franchise tag.
There was talk during the NFL combine in Indianapolis, according to ESPN, that the Lions would be interested in adding another reliable cornerback.
“In Indianapolis, cornerback was a frequently discussed topic, especially in relation to the trade market. Reporter Jeremy Fowler stated, “We are aware that the Chiefs are considering a tag-and-trade with L’Jarius Sneed, and several teams are reportedly involved.” “The Lions are a team to monitor because word out of Indianapolis is that Detroit is adamant about signing a top cornerback. Miami is also something to watch.”
But according to reports, the organization has given him permission to look for a move. It is anticipated that Sneed will demand a significant extension, which the Chiefs might not be ready to negotiate.
Fowler mentioned that two other good cornerbacks, Carlton Davis of Tampa Bay and Marshon Lattimore of New Orleans, might potentially be acquired by trade.
Ahead of the offseason, Sneed was considered the best pending free agent. Despite being franchise tagged and not being able to claim that distinction, he is still regarded as one of the greatest players available.
In contrast, the Lions had a great deal of difficulty at cornerback in 2023. The region is therefore thought to be among the team’s most pressing priorities for the offseason.
