Picking the biggest looming free-agent decisions for all 32 NFL teams (Offensive lineman Graham Glasgow - This might not be much of a decision since the Lions chose to rotate Glasgow throughout the 2019 season and Glasgow has said he'd be silly not to take things to free agency. But the decision to rotate Glasgow was short-sighted -- he's a reliable guard who can play center and should get paid by some team this offseason. Detroit, in theory, should be that team but thus far the front office and coaching staff have not shown they are willing to value what he brings to the position and an improving run game. -- Michael Rothstein): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/nfl_32for32200114/biggest-looming-2020-free-agent-decisions-all-32-nfl-teams#DET

Offseason needs for all 32 NFL teams in 2020 (DETROIT LIONS: A SUCCESSION PLAN FOR DARIUS SLAY AT CORNERBACK: Secondary needs: pass rushers, linebackers
Slay has widely been considered one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL over the past five or so years, and he has been exactly that. This season, though, he took a step back with a 56.9 overall grade, and he is set to enter free agency in 2021. Outside of Slay, Justin Coleman and Rashaan Melvin (free agent in 2020) both struggled with passer ratings allowed north of 100.0 and coverage grades south of 60.0. Rookie cornerback Amani Oruwariye flashed some promising performances to close the season, but the Lions still need to address the position. Surprisingly, given the addition of Trey Flowers and Mike Daniels to a talented group from the 2018 season, the Lions also need to add pass rushing this offseason. Their 30.3% pressure rate this season ranked 29th in the NFL — ahead of only the Dolphins, Seahawks and Falcons. Getting someone other than Flowers who can rush the passer should be in the cards. They should look to improve their linebacking corps, as well, as Jarrad Davis (40.4 overall grade) and Christian Jones (43.8) both finished the 2019 season with PFF grades among the worst at the position.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offseason-needs-for-all-32-nfl-teams-2020
