For the 30 NFL teams not participating in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, it's the offseason. Free agency starts in just over a month, and the Detroit Lions will be eyeing how they can get over the playoff hump next season.
The Lions are in a good position heading into the offseason, sitting top-10 in the league in cap space right now. There are some key internal free agents they have to make a decision on, but in a broad sense they will be able to do what they want to in free agency.
We also know the Lions will be careful spenders in free agency, honing in on players who they feel will intangibly fit their culture as much as said player's talent would fit a need on the field. That necessarily narrows the pool of players they'd most likely sign, but past team success could be a tipping point in some cases. Like having just played in the Super Bowl when free agency gets going.
Leaning into those players, here are five 2025 free agents from the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs who could be on the Lions' radar.
5 free agents from the Super Bowl LIX teams who could interest the Lions
5. Eagles OG/OT Jack Driscoll
Driscoll won't be suiting up in the Super Bowl due to an ankle injury that landed him on IR before the playoffs. His only start this season was in Week 8, at right guard as the Eagles' rested their starters. He has been a reserve over the last three seasons (five total starts), but over the course of five seasons he has made starts at three offensive line positions (both tackle spots at right guard).
If the Lions end up looking for a versatile offensive line backup who has proven capable at multiple spots when called upon, Driscoll lands as a possibility.
