About this listen

 Detroit Lions heading into 2026 following a 9-8 season. The team’s primary concern involves rebuilding an offensive line that struggled significantly after losing key veteran leaders to retirement and free agency. To address defensive gaps, the organization is looking to pair a consistent edge rusher with star Aidan Hutchinson while weighing the potential departure of veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone. Financially, the Lions face a tight salary cap situation that may necessitate difficult roster cuts, including the possible release of longtime tackle Taylor Decker. Finally, the analysis suggests using a high first-round draft pick to bolster the defense with elite talent at the secondary or linebacker positions.
