Lions Bet on Veteran Edge Help to Pair with Hutchinson

Detroit Lions must upgrade the edge opposite Aidan Hutchinson as Marcus Davenport and Al-Quadin Muhammad profile for free agency and depth is thin. The team is expected to pursue veteran free-agent help with several top targets listed (Hendrickson, Phillips, Oweh, Mafe), while also weighing best-fit veterans like Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Jadeveon Clowney, Cameron Jordan, and Charles Omenihu. Re-signing Muhammad at roughly $4–6M remains a possibility if the price is right. The strategy balances adding an established starter now with mentoring potential rookies and preserving room to add an edge in the 2026 draft.
