The Detroit Lions have made some pretty interesting moves during this offseason. They have signed wide receiver Nate Burleson to a five-year deal. Along with that, they signed defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and received defensive end Corey Williams in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. What does this mean? These players aren’t that bad. The Lions can make some noise next season.
Burleson can help a lot on the returns and along with that, Matthew Stafford has another target to throw to. He now has some great targets with Calvin Johnson, Brandon Pettigrew, and now Nate Burleson. The Lions can rock on the offense with a good running back in Kevin Smith and Stafford’s impressive passing skills. The Lions will also need some more protection with the O-Line.
Other than the offense, the Lions can roar on the defensive side of the ball as well. Since losing Shaun Rogers, the Lions can receive a guy similar to him in Corey Williams. Williams will most probably start at defensive tackle and Vanden Bosch will start at defensive end. Cliff Avril will also be a big player there as well. And plus, the draft can also improve this team’s defense.
The Lions will most probably get Ndamukong Suh or Gerald McCoy as their No. 2. Whoever they pick, they will start with Williams at DT. Just imagine how scary that pass rush may be. I’d be scared as well. The Lions, so far, are having a great offseason. With what they are doing now, a lot of good things are to come for the new season.

Very nice. I can honestly say I’m looking forward to Lions Football next year. I heard all the crying about the new coach and his lack of ability to build a winning team last year but he’s taken a couple of huge steps in the right direction and I’d be will to bet that we’ll have a winning record next year and in the playoffs in 2 years. Get excited Lions fans, we’re finally on the right track.
great point there Scooter. I hope the Lions do good next year
I would like to see the lions go after Daren Sharper for a 1 or 2 year deal to pair with Delmas at safety
That would be nice
Signing Sharper would be a mistake. We don’t want desperate veterans at the end of their careers to bring this team back. What we need is aggressive newcomers who will explode onto the scene wearing blue and silver. Delmas will have a fine year, building up our defensive line will help ease the workload of the secondary and our stellar linebacking crew.
I would really like to see the lions go after Daren Sharper for a 1 or 2 year deal
