Lions map out youthful, affordable linebacker revamp to replace Anzalone
Detroit Lions are weighing a linebacker overhaul to replace Alex Anzalone, evaluating high-profile free-agent options (Dean, Lloyd, Bush, Ellis, Wagner, Edmunds) against cost-effective fits (Quincy Williams, Alex Singleton, Justin Strnad) and considering re-signing internal depth. The plan emphasizes youth and upside, with internal players like Nowaske, Cunningham, and Rodriguez in play for affordable deals while Anzalone’s departure appears likely.
