Lions fans should expect GM Brad Holmes to address Detroit's biggest areas of need during free agency. Holmes loves to plug holes in free agency, allowing him to target the best players available during the draft instead of drafting for need exclusively.

There is no time of year like free agency in the NFL. It is a chaotic mess where you can't really fall asleep and when you do, you hear the sound of your phone notifications in your dream. But I love it!

With the NFL Combine in the books, it’s time to shift focus to free agency. The tampering period is just a week away, opening on March 10 at 12 p.m. ET. So we’re kicking off a series to preview each position and potential signings that may fit the Detroit Lions’ needs.
