There are certainly a lot of good cornerbacks available. Should Detroit go up and get one or can they wait for one to fall?

The Lions gave defensive end Trey Flowers the biggest deal in this year’s free agent class and quickly signed Flowers Will Harris Detroit Lions Jersey , cornerback Justin Coleman, tight end Jesse James and wide receiver Danny Amendola to contracts totaling over $160 million. They’ve since added cornerback Rashaan Melvin to the haul as well.Quinn acknowledged that spending the money doesn’t guarantee results, but said their goal heading into free agency was to “improve all aspects of the team.” He said on Monday that he feels the team has done that.“There’s not a lot of sure bets in free agency,” Quinn said Will Harris Jersey 2019 , via the . “Certain years you can be more aggressive than others and I think with the money that we paid those guys, the contracts speak to what we think of them. and we think they can help us win games.

He also said that their ability to help on the field was more significant after a 6-10 start to Patricia’s tenure.
