The Detroit Lions made the one major NFL free agency signing this past offseason, inking center Cade Mays to a three-year, $25 million deal.

Other than that Mays deal, the Lions' big-money attention centered upon contract extensions with linebacker Jack Campbell and running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

Detroit signed players such as offensive lineman Larry Borom, running back Isiah Pacheco, defensive backs Christian Izien and Roger McCreary, and EDGE DJ Wonnum on cost effective deals. The Lions re-signed cornerback Rock Ya-Sin, linebackers Malcolm Rodriguez and Trevor Nowaske, and return man Tom Kennedy on cheaper deals, too.

Sitting at 6-2, winners of four straight and firmly in the mix in the NFC North race and NFC playoffs picture, the Lions are definite buyers at the NFL trade deadline.

Teams have until Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET to make any final trades.

Leading up to Tuesday's deadline, we'll be tracking all of the latest rumors and news surrounding the Lions.

Detroit Lions' positions of need before trade deadline -

Cornerback: Though Detroit has played much better defensively across its past four games, the Lions' secondary still ranks last in the NFL, surrendering 260.9 passing yards per game. Some of Detroit's defensive shortcomings can be traced back to the offseason arrest and eventual release of cornerback Terrion Arnold. The Lions were hopeful that he could take a step forward in 2026, but the off-the-field situation meant that Detroit cut ties with the former first-rounder.

Safety: Like corner, the Lions could use some more hands on deck in its defensive backfield across the board. The Lions opened the 21-day window on safety Kerby Joseph on Oct. 28, but he's yet to be activated and hasn't played in an NFL game since Oct. 12, 2025, against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Linebacker: After injuries to Jack Campbell and Jimmy Rolder, the Lions could use some help at linebacker. Detroit recently signed K.J. Britt.
