Lions News: 23 Detroit Lions who will be unrestricted free agents after the 2024 season

[Rusty]

The Detroit Lions have wrapped up what many consider to be yet another stellar draft under the leadership of GM Brad Holmes. Coupled with a successful free agency period, the Lions are poised to continue their upward trajectory toward Super Bowl contention.In contrast to past expectations of immediate contributions from draft picks, the Holmes/Campbell regime has shifted focus to building for the long term. Their adeptness at drafting and supplementing with quality free agents has transformed the Lions from a league laughingstock to one of the NFL’s more formidable teams.Their strategy involves planning beyond the current season, aiming to preempt potential free agent departures by grooming talent internally. This approach allows them to avoid overspending in free agency or sacrificing draft capital to fill immediate needs, instead prioritizing the acquisition of the best available players.Looking ahead to the 2025 free agent class, many Lions players are expected to re-sign with the team before hitting the open market. Among them are several newcomers to Detroit, whose performances will be closely watched to determine their potential for a second contract. Additionally, players from Holmes’ initial draft class will hit free agency next year. Already securing Penei Sewell and Amon-Ra St. Brown, the question arises: who else from that inaugural group will the Lions choose to retain? It’s a storyline worth closely following throughout this process.Here is the list of the 2025 free agents for the Lions.
