ALLEN PARK, Mich. – As the legal tampering period begins within the NFL on Monday and teams can finally start to make more concrete plans to be on their roster, the turnover churn that will be the Detroit Lions can take some shape.
The Lions are not expected to be massive players in free agency due to a multitude of factors, including cap space, the reality of a rebuild and new general manager Brad Holmes’ stated plan he would prefer to build within the draft.
But Detroit does need players – the team, in reality, has either starting or depth questions at every position other than punter – and some of those solves will come from free agency. The Lions’ own free agents may take up some of those moves, as the team has already re-signed cornerback Michael Ford, and they’ve been active in the cut-player market, signing receiver Tyrell Williams.
March 16: DL Ndamukong Suh
This list is subject to change based on potential roster moves before Wednesday. Today our focus is on one of the best free agency values the Buccaneers have ever landed and the fifth Buc ever to get the franchise tag:
Position: Outside Linebacker
Experience: Entering 8th NFL Season
How Acquired: The Buccaneers signed Barrett to a one-year deal as an unrestricted free agent on March 18, 2019, then retained him for the 2020 season using the franchise tag.
Previous Contract(s): As a undrafted free agent in 2014, Barrett got a three-year contract from the Broncos in 2014. He then re-signed with Denver for one more year as a restricted free agent in 2017 and then again as an unrestricted free agent in 2018.
