LB Jon Bostic 4th year

A veteran with speed. A 2nd round pick in 2014. Can play the weakside and special teams.
WR Andre Caldwell 9th year
 |
| 105 games 18 starts 256 rec 1509 yards 11td |
Veteran with a super bowl ring. Can play in the slot and return kicks. Will contend for the 5th WR spot.
LB Zaviar Gooden 4th year
 |
| 24 games 3 starts 36 tackles |
Athlete when healthy. A 3rd round pick by the Titans in 2013. Has not produced ti that status. Could push for a roster spot.
TE Matthew Mulligan 9th year
 |
| Mulligan 81 games 31 starts 17 rec 162 yards 2 td |
Solid blocking TE. Strong guy.
DE Wallace Gilberry 10th year
 |
| Gilberry 115 games 22 starts 176 tackles 31.5 sacks |
Solid NFL rotational end. Give insurance just in case the draft does not net an end.
RB Steven Ridley 6th year
 |
| Ridley 60 games 26 starts 685/2907/22 rush 27/144/0 rec |
A solid NFL RB before a ACL/MCL injury in 2014. Can grind between the tackles and add a veteran and wining presence.
Analysis:
Another no-risk signing by Quinn. If he has some gas left he can be a piece of the running back rotation.
OG Geoff Schwartz 7th year
 |
| Schwartz 74 games 39 starts |
A solid NFL guard when healthy. The Lions are taking a flier on this guy.
Analysis:
Could be a solid veteran if he can play Right tackle or back up the injury prone Wafrod.
CB Darrin Walls 6th year
 |
| Walls 54 games 16 starts 75 tackles 22 PBU 3 int |
A good 3rd outside CB. Has starting experience and size.
Analysis:
The Patriots believe you can never have enough cover guys. This signing gives the Lions more depth at CB
WR Jeremy Kerley 6th year
 |
| Kerley 74 games 24 starts 182 rec 2225 yards 9td 134 pr 1250 yards 1td |
Quick in small spaces. Good underneath receiver with solid hands. Can return punts as well. 4th receiver.
Analysis:
Solid NFL Receiver and return man. The lions still need an outside guy to compliment their corps.
WR Marvin Jones 5th year
 |
| Jones 43 games 24 starts 134 rec 1729 yards 15 td |
A solid NFL receiver. Has a solid all around game but excels in the red zone. Jones can high point the ball.
Analysis:
A good pick up. I think the Lions will try to have a number of solid WR but not a superstar. A draft pick in this draft is in play.
S Tavon Wilson 5th year
 |
| Wilson 54 games 4 starts 69 tackles 11 PBU 5 int |
Solid special teams player. Can play both safety and slot corner. A versatile player that Bob Quinn will value.
Analysis:
Depth guy. Could start in a pinch. I think Safety is a draftable position for the Lions.
CB Jon Bademosi 5th year
 |
| Bademosi 62 games 72 tackles 3 PBU |
A stud special teams player. Can help out at CB. A classic 5th CB.
Analysis:
Should not impact draft plans. The Lions could use one more cover guy.
DT Stefan Charles 4th year
 |
| 37 games 48 tackles 5 sacks 2 FF |
Strong player against the run. Supplies some pass rush. a good 4th DT in the rotation.
Analysis:
Should not impact the draft however young guys like Kerry Hyder and Gabe Wright should be on alert.
S Rafael Bush 7th year
 |
| Bush 46 games 14 starts 121 tackles 8 PBU 1 int 1 FF |
Solid NFL safety when healthy. A stop gap for the season.
Analysis:
Insurance if they cannot draft a starter at safety.
