Projecting how the Lions will fill their remaining 24 spots on their 90-man roster
Looking back at the past four offseasons to project how the final spots on the Lions 2025 roster may be constructed.
As the Detroit Lions head into the second week of the 2025 free agency period, they have 66 players under contract, leaving 24 open spots on their 90-man roster. To see how the Lions might fill those final roster spots, we looked back at the Lions’ last four offseasons of roster building in Detroit.
The Lions currently hold seven draft picks and have previously brought in 12–17 undrafted free agents, which indicates they might have room for a few more key free agents or they could simply pack things in and move forward toward the draft.
To take things a step further, we also looked at the number of players at each position when the Lions entered previous OTAs/minicamp and summer training camps. By comparing those totals to what is currently on the roster, we can get a better idea of which position groups are ready to go and which need more depth for practices.
Let’s take a look at how the remainder of the Lions’ offseason may play out.
