The next offseason for the Detroit Lions is crucial.
The squad has an opportunity to capitalize on the momentum generated by their run to the NFC Championship game heading into Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes’ fourth season with the franchise.
The Lions can definitely establish themselves as one of the top Super Bowl contenders for the upcoming season with the correct moves.
With regard to internal talent, the management must make difficult judgments on linemen Jonah Jackson and Graham Glasgow as well as safety Ceedy Duce.
Holmes will therefore have to manage the summer carefully as the team attempts to make the best use of its available cap space.
