Detroit Lions 2022 NFL free agency primer

The Detroit Lions will have an opportunity to start the process of filling needs on a roster that only won three games in 2021. The legal tampering period will allow NFL free agents to reach agreements with teams, beginning on Monday at noon. Official contracts cannot be signed until Wednesday at 4 p.m. For Detroit’s coaching staff and front office, finding gritty, talented and locker room leaders will be the objective all throughout this offseason. “Anybody that wants to come into our building, if you want to know what we’re about, we’re about cutting it loose. We’re going to be aggressive, and we don’t cower from anybody. We respect all of our opponents, but we don’t fear any of them,” head coach Dan Campbell said at the combine. “If you want to come to Detroit, you’re going to be gritty, and you’re going to be with a bunch of guys that freaking love the game. They’re going to give all their heart and soul, and we’re going to cut it loose. So that’s what we’re about.”Re-signed Lions free agents Recommended Lions Articles

Detroit Lions free agency news Evan Brown re-signs

Detroit Lions free agency news Evan Brown re-signs

The Detroit Lions have reportedly come to terms on a new contract extension for center Evan Brown. According to NFL Network, the deal is a one-year contract extension for the talented 25-year-old offensive lineman. Additional terms have yet to be made available.After center Frank Ragnow was lost for the season with a toe injury, Brown filled in admirably and gained the respect of teammates, the coaching staff and the front office. Soon after Ragnow went down with injury, Brown played 60 snaps against the Chicago Bears in Week 4, and the offensive line did not miss a beat.“I thought he played well,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “I thought he was solid. I thought he went in and really didn’t miss a beat. There was really only a couple of plays that I know he wishes he would have back, but I thought he went in and did a good job.”Recommended Lions ArticlesBrown, who will enter his fifth NFL season in 2022, entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of SMU. “Evan’s a very, very, very, very smart guy. He’s a highly intelligent dude,” teammate Jonah Jackson told reporters. “He knows ball, he knows what’s going on and he’s able to identify everything, process stuff fast. So when it comes to that aspect of the game, it’s not much of a drop-off at all.”brown5© Raj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsJoin the AllLions CommunityBecome a premium AllLions member, which grants you access to all of our premium content and gets you a FREE subscription to Sports Illustrated!
