The Lions are retaining some depth on their interior defensive line by re-signing Myles Adams.
While some of the bigger defensive lineman are coming off the board in free agency, the Detroit Lions are going about re-signing their own depth players. According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions are re-signing defensive lineman Myles Adams to a one-year deal.
The Lions signed Adams to their 53-man roster off the Seahawks practice squad. Previously, Adams had spent over four years in Seattle, playing in 26 games and one career start. When he was added to Detroit, he ended up playing four games down the stretch as injuries mounted on the defensive line. He finished with four tackles, 1.0 sack, two quarterback hits, and a solid 71.6 PFF grade in just 46 total defensive snaps.
At 6-foot-2, 285 pounds, Adams mostly plays on the interior of the defensive line. He could give the Lions some depth there while they figure out what else to do on the interior. There are currently many defensive tackle questions facing the Detroit Lions: will they re-sign Levi Onwuzurike? When will Alim McNeill be ready to play after tearing his ACL? And will a defensive lineman be addressed early in the NFL Draft?
For now, the Lions have a depth piece that they’re familiar with, and it won’t likely change any of their other defensive line plans moving forward.
