The Detroit Lions are doubling down on their successful 2024 formula by retaining key players and making strategic additions in the 2025 offseason. Linebacker Derrick Barnes, a cornerstone of their defense, inked a three-year, $24 million extension, while cornerback D.J. Reed joins on a three-year, $48 million deal to fill the void left by Carlton Davis' departure to the Patriots. Despite a quiet free agency, the Lions' focus remains on internal stability, re-signing several contributors like Marcus Davenport and Tim Patrick. With the NFL Draft looming, Detroit aims to bolster its roster further, eyeing a return to the playoffs and a potential Super Bowl run.
