Regarding the Lions FAs mentioned in the article, I would be surprised if Graham Glasgow re-signs with the Lions. The Lions Guard situation certainly will need to be addressed even if Glasgow unexpectedly re-signs with the Lions. If Glasgow leaves, Guard will very likely become the # 1 question mark for the Lions Offense, for the 2020 season.

I don't anticipate Sam Martin being back with the Lions.

Because the Lions moved pretty quickly to place Jeff Driskel on IR, I would be at least somewhat surprised if he re-signs with the Lions this off-season.

RB J.D. McKissic, at a non-tendered rate, probably is the most likely Lions FA listed in this article to re-sign with the Lions.

I think there's about a 55 % chance the Lions will re-sign Don Muhlbach.

Kenny Wiggins and Oday Aboushi seem like 50-50 each, whether they will be back with the Lions.

Predicting which Detroit Lions free agents return in 2020 season


………………….

One UFA I didn't touch on in the previous ( opening ) message of this thread that I believe has a much better chance of re-signing with the Lions than what Dave Birkett believes is the case is Logan Thomas. He seems like a 50-50 type of situation.

NFL free agency: Top 10 players left unsigned, potential fits for Detroit Lions

………………..

Of the 10 players that were written about in depth,

Everson Griffin, Logan Ryan, and Markus Golden are the ones I hope the Lions consider if their likely asking prices drop considerably. Ryan and Golden are the more likely possibilities for the Lions, relatively speaking.

7 remaining free agents who can still help the Lions

………………..

Since this article was written ( March 30, 2020 ), Kamalei Correa re-signed with the Titans and Timmy Jernigan signed with the Saints.

I'm more than comfortable ( unless very good value presents itself ) if the Lions wait until after the draft to sign any other veteran FAs.

Detroit Lions hit the mark in NFL free agency, trades: Here are our grades

…………………

This article was written before the Lions and Miles Killebrew agreed on a new contract.

This is an upbeat/ optimistic article by a writer who used to be amongst the most pessimistic media members regarding the Lions.

Detroit Lions earn high marks for latest wave of free-agency acquisitions

……………….

It was a groin injury that landed Geronimo Allison on IR in 2018.

For the 2020 season, Allison will much further away from when the injury occurred. Hopefully, that will enable Allison to regain the physical skills that didn't come back in the 2019 season.

How the easy to mock New England infusion could boost Lions’ defense after hampered offseason

…………………

Considering that one or two plays was the difference in the outcome of many Lions games in 2019 ( mostly losses ), using familiarity substantially in player acquisition in 2020, is a good strategy. Especially, with the COVID-19 situation this off-season.
