Bottom Line: Detroit Lions lose out on Calais Campbell

The Lions have been active in free agency, making several moves to improve their team. However, defensive tackle remains a position in need of improvement. With no true additions to the room this offseason, the Lions will need to sign or draft a big man inside if they want to optimize Isaiah Buggs‘ playing time. Campbell would have been an interesting fit, providing veteran leadership on the defensive side of the ball. However, with Campbell’s age and short-term deal, the Lions will have to look elsewhere for a long-term solution.
