A live-updating post on all the Detroit Lions’ 2024 offseason moves: trades, signings, cuts and re-signings
The Detroit Lions’ offseason is underway. This year figures to be critical for Detroit, as they hope to build on their NFC Championship run and establish themselves and perennial contenders. The Super Bowl is not only the hope, it’s the expectation.
With a healthy amount of salary cap, a cunning general manger in Brad Holmes, and some draft capital to play around with, this figures to be an active offseason for the Lions. And we’re here to track every single move of it.
This post will serve as a huge resource tracking every single move the Lions make, plus links to analysis pieces on those moves. For example, if the Lions sign a player in free agency, it’ll be listed below and complemented by links to contract details and reactions to the move. We’ll also be tracking trades, releases, internal moves, and Lions free agents who are still available.
The best part about this resource is you can look back at the 2023 Lions offseason tracker or 2022 tracker and easily tell which moves turned out to be good ones, and which ones turned out to be a mistake.
The Lions have already made a handful of moves this offseason, so let’s get into it. Here is our comprehensive 2024 Detroit Lions offseason/free agent tracker.
