The Detroit Lions 2026 offseason is underway.

The club has 20 pending unrestricted free agents set to hit the market when the new league year begins March 11. The Lions have limited cap space in 2026, but have some key free agents, mostly on defense, including linebacker Alex Anzalone, cornerback Amik Robertson and defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad.

We’re giving you the power to decide what the Lions should try to do with their free agents: Re-sign them or let them move on?

What fan doesn’t like to play general manager, anyway? What should GM Brad Holmes and the Lions’ decision makers do?

Vote below in our polls and see the results.

QB Kyle Allen

Age: 30.

Buzz: Won the backup job over Hendon Hooker in training camp; did not see meaningful action. Last started a game in 2022, and has 19 career starts, with 12 coming in 2019 with Carolina. Has 26 TDs against 21 INTs in the NFL. Jared Goff has started every game from 2022-25 to become the NFL’s most dependable QB.

WR Kalif Raymond

Age: 32.

Buzz: Trustworthy veteran punt returner and slot receiver who usually makes the play when called upon. Had 24 catches for 289 yards and a touchdown in 15 games, and returned a punt for a touchdown for the third time in the past four seasons, though he averaged just 7.5 yards per return in 2025, down from 13.8 in 2024.

TE Shane Zylstra

Age: 29.

Buzz: Had three catches for 20 yards against the Steelers in Week 15, his only game with a target in six appearances, when the Lions were desperate for tight end production. Has dealt with injuries over the past three years.

G Kayode Awosika

Age: 27.

Buzz: Started four games this season, his fourth with the Lions, at left guard when Christian Mahogany was injured, then injured his foot and played just one more game.

DT DJ Reader

Age: 32.

Buzz: Started all 17 games in 2025, and had 28 total tackles, playing 53% of the defensive snaps for the second consecutive season. Did not have any sacks after registering three in 2024, and had just four QB hits. The Lions’ run defense fell apart late in the season, and his frustration boiled over to X, when he got in spats with fans after the loss to the Steelers.

DT Levi Onwuzurike

Age: 28.

Buzz: Missed the entire season after re-signing on a one-year, $3.5 million deal in March after playing a key role in 2024. The Lions did not know he needed surgery for a torn ACL in his knee, which he then underwent in the spring.

DE Al-Quadin Muhammad

Age: 31.

Buzz: Breakout season with 11 sacks off the bench and 20 QB hits, both second to Aidan Hutchinson’s team-leading 14½ sacks and 35 QB hits (no other Lion had more than six), while playing 41% of the Lions’ defensive snaps in 17 games. “This team gave me an opportunity that other teams didn’t,” Muhammad said in late December.

DE Josh Paschal

Age: 26.

Buzz: His injury-plagued career continued, missing the 2025 season after he underwent surgery to fix a disc problem in his back in May. Has played in 36 of a possible 68 regular-season games in four seasons since being drafted 46th overall in 2022 out of Kentucky, with five career sacks.

DE Marcus Davenport

Age: 29.

Buzz: Had 14 tackles in eight games (seven starts), with one sack and three QB hits, playing 55% of the defensive snaps in those games.

LB Alex Anzalone

Age: 31.

Buzz: Landed a $250,000 raise after missing the first few days of training camp practice unhappy with his contract, but said in late December the contentious situation did not sour him on wanting to stay in Detroit. Had 95 tackles and 2½ sacks in 16 starts in 2025, playing at least 1,000 snaps for the third time in the past four seasons.

LB Malcolm Rodriguez

Age: 27.

Buzz: After recovering from an ACL injury, he returned to play in seven games, recording 12 tackles.

LB Grant Stuard

Age: 27.

Buzz: Had 19 tackles in 17 games as a core special-teams player, and played just 13 snaps on defense. Got pulled as a kick returner after two games.

CB Amik Robertson

Age: 28.

Buzz: Had one interception and two forced fumbles in 17 games, making 10 starts and registering 52 tackles, playing a lot of outside corner due to injuries. Gave up a 117.7 passer rating on 70-for-104 passing (67.3%) and eight touchdowns after allowing two in 2024. Said the “window’s not closed” for a return to Detroit after meeting with Holmes following the season.

CB Rock Ya-Sin

Age: 30.

Buzz: The No. 34 overall pick in the 2019 draft joined his fifth team in seven seasons, making 47 tackles in 17 games with six starts, forced into the lineup due to a rash of injuries. Allowed just a 74.7 passer rating and 51.9% completion percentage (28-for-54).

S Daniel Thomas

Age: 28.

Buzz: Made two starts in 12 games, recording 23 tackles when pressed into action due to injuries (14% of defensive snaps). Provided physicality but also was injured multiple times, including surgery for a broken forearm in September.

S Avonte Maddox

Age: 30.

Buzz: Another veteran signed for depth who saw a lot more defensive snaps (37%) than anticipated, making three starts in 14 games and generating 32 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble. Allowed two touchdowns on 20 attempts (13 catches) and a 101.9 passer rating.
