The Detroit Lions have not been very active in the 2008 Free Agent Signing Period. No big name Free Agents signed. Here is a list of the Activity the Lions have undertaken to improve their Roster for the upcoming 2008 NFL Season. We have to assume more discussions are taking place in Allen Park with Free Agents to complete the off season moves prior to the 2008 NFL Draft in April.
