They Detroit Lions have a bit of a conundrum on their hand. After placing a restricted free agent tender on tight end Brock Wright (worth one year, $2.985 million), the San Francisco 49ers came in and offered Wright a potentially much better deal.

The United Football League, a combination of former spring leagues XFL and USFL, is kicking off for their inaugural season this weekend, giving plenty of non-NFL players a new chance to take the field.

Last year, the Detroit Lions made a significant move in NFL free agency by signing former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton. With Sutton now out of the picture (released amid legal issues), Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine suggests that the Lions could turn to another former Steelers defensive back in free agency: Patrick Peterson. Ballentine identifies

It might not feel like it to some, but the Detroit Lions’ defense finished last year ranked in the top half of the league in DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average), thanks in large part to their No. 1 ranked run defense. And while the passing defense was often the source of their problems, it still…
