Eli Harold, LB

Age: 25
Height/Weight: 6-3, 243
Years in NFL: 4
2018 Salary: $1.8 million
2018 Stats: 10 tackles, 4.0 sacks

Why re-sign him: The Lions took a flier on Eli Harold, sending the San Francisco 49ers a conditional seventh-round selection in late August in exchange for the former 2015 third rounder out of Virginia. As a result, Harold responded posting a career-high 4.0 sacks in Detroit. The 25-year old showed enough potential as a pass rusher to earn himself more time in the Motor City to see if he can develop into a double-digit sacker in 2019.
