Predictions for every NFL team's best offseason move (Top signing: Trey Flowers - A lucrative $18 million-per-year deal means Flowers has a lot to live up to, but if he performs at the level he did in 2018, the Lions’ pass rush is going to be getting to the quarterback quite frequently. Flowers was one of five edge defenders to eclipse a 90.0 overall grade last year, and with 64 (t-10th) pressures and 37 stops (9th) in a contract year, he earned his lucrative deal. The only players who graded higher than him were J.J. Watt and Calais Campbell — and Von Miller and Khalil Mack were just a hair behind him.):  https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-predictions-for-every-nfl-teams-best-signing
