They signed top guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis to improve protection for quarterback Bryce Young and traded for wide receiver Robert Johnson to bolster the passing game. Additionally, they added defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson, safety Jordan Fuller, and linebacker Josey Jewell to shore up the defense. The team is still looking to add a pass-rusher and downfield threat for Young, and they aim to address remaining roster needs in the upcoming draft.
