NFL free agency is well underway and teams around the league have begun signing players they think can improve their roster the most prior to the draft.
One team that has made a big splash is our Detroit Lions, who managed to improve the right side of their offensive line, all while spending less money than Riley Reiff and Larry Warford made elsewhere in free agency.
Not only is Lions GM Bob Quinn getting praise from Lions fans for his recent FA signings, but he is also getting some major praise around the country.
ESPN recently published a piece (pay site) titled, “Ranking most improved teams after first surge of NFL free agency.” In the article, they rank the top “most improved” teams in the NFL after the first wave of free agent signings.
Let’s see if the Detroit Lions made the cut.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Biggest additions: WR DeSean Jackson, DE Chris Baker, S J.J. Wilcox
With DeSean Jackson coming to town, the Bucs will now have the combo of him and Mike Evans to wreak havoc on opposing defenses. Baker and Wilcox should help improve Tampa Bay’s defense almost immediately.
