NFL free agency grades 2023: Ranking signings, trades for all 32 teams from best (Bears) to worst (Packers) (4. Detroit Lions - Grade: A.  Key additions: RB David Montgomery, CB Cameron Sutton, CB Emmanuel Moseley, G Graham Glasgow, S C.J. Gardner-Johnson.  Key re-signings: LB Alex Anzalone, EDGE John Cominsky, RB Craig Reynolds, DT Isaiah Buggs, OT Matt Nelson.  Key losses: RB Jamaal Williams, S Deshon Elliott, WR D.J. Chark, LB Chris Board, G Evan Brown, CB Mike Hughes.  GM Brad Holmes did some great work overhauling their pass coverage behind Jeff Okudah by landing Gardner-Johnson, Sutton and Moseley from other teams' great schemes. Montgomery not only is a more versatile upgrade from Williams, but he also is a top-flight contingency for D'Andre Swift. The Lions are set up nicely to finish their playoff push in the draft.):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-free-agency-grades-2023-best-worst-offseason/sqtlomopd7jepkyakr26lhew

Which team did the most in free agency for their upcoming season? (Kyle: I love what the Lions have done. David Montgomery is a really good player — although I get that paying RBs is bad process, but betting against Jamal Williams replicating his 2022 season is fine. I love the CJ Gardner-Johnson signing, and adding him along with CBs Cameron Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley should help their defense significantly. That offense is gonna hum, and now they’ve given themselves some more flexibility in the draft with their two top 20 picks. They’re now the firm favorite in the NFC North for me.):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/2023-nfl-free-agency-winners-and-losers/

Who Will Sign DJ Chark? Possible Landing Spots for Detroit Lions Wide Receiver (Who Will Sign DJ Chark in Free Agency?  Detroit Lions - The Lions have been active in free agency, but most of their additions have come on the defensive side of the ball. C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Cameron Sutton, and Emmanuel Moseley are in town to help solve Detroit’s secondary woes, while the Lions also re-signed linebacker Alex Anzalone and defensive lineman John Cominsky.  On offense, Detroit added David Montgomery to replace Jamaal Williams, but they haven’t done any work on their receiving corps. If the season started today, the Lions would line up Amon-Ra St. Brown and 2022 first-round selection Jameson Williams as their starting receivers, but they still need a third option.  Lions general manager Brad Holmes indicated earlier this year that re-signing Chark was on the table, and Chark seems to have enjoyed his time in Detroit.  “One thing I can say about the coaches in Detroit, they really — they know your kid’s names, and they’re really into like who you are as a person,” Chark said. “Whereas that’s not always the case. A lot of different personalities that mesh well.”  The Lions still have more than $22 million in remaining cap space. Given that he missed time last season, Chark is unlikely to command another $10 million price tag, so a reunion in Detroit could make sense.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/who-will-sign-dj-chark-2023/
