Detroit Lions Face Offseason Challenges with Long List of Free Agents

After a crushing loss in the NFC Championship, the team must make tough decisions to build off their historic season.

The Detroit Lions face a challenging offseason with a long list of free agents that need to be re-signed or let go, including key players like Jonah Jackson, Josh Reynolds, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
The Lions' 2023 season ended with a crushing loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, despite leading 24-7 at halftime.
Head coach Dan Campbell warned that the team may never reach the NFC championship again and the climb will only get harder as the team ages.
The Lions have $57.5 million in projected 2024 cap space, which they are expected to use to retain their own players before diving heavily into the open market.
The Lions will have eight draft picks in 2024, including No. 29.
