On Friday, we explored the Detroit Lions players on the roster bubble on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, the picture is a little more muddled.

In 2021, Charles Harris was one of the few Detroit Lions players who made the most of his one-year prove it deal from general manager Brad Holmes. A two-year, $14 million pay day was his reward for being Detroit’s most productive pass rusher during Year 1 of the retool. With the Lions, his fifth year…
Professional sports are a transient business these days. Franchises relocate, leaving entire cities in the lurch. Players bolt, too, taking advantage of free agency when they can.

According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are intending on re-signing running back Justin Jackson.
