The majority of high-profile free agents have signed new deals, but there are still a number of quality options available for the Detroit Lions to consider as they continue to fill their 90-man roster.

General manager Brad Holmes will sign a variety of players between now and training camp — depth is needed in a few places — but this is a focus on two positions most would point to as Detroit’s biggest needs: Edge rusher and offensive guard.

Here are two lists, in alphabetical order, of the best remaining free agents at both spots.

Calais Campbell (Miami Dolphins)

By far the oldest player listed, Campbell (6-foot-8, 307 pounds) proved in 2024 he’s still got some left in the tank. The 38-year-old Campbell, who moves all over the defensive line, posted 39 pressures, 12 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks for the Dolphins last season. Campbell has played 15 or more games in 13 of his 17 seasons (including three of his last four) and hasn’t had fewer than 30 pressures since 2020. He also notched 31 run stops in 2024, which ranked seventh among 384 linemen and edge rushers.

Matt Judon (Atlanta Falcons)

Another veteran who isn’t quite at his peak but is worthy of a mention is Judon (6-3, 275 pounds), the former Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots standout who spent 2024 as a member of the Falcons. The West Bloomfield High School and Grand Valley grad’s pass-rush win rate of 6.2% last season is concerning — it’s the lowest figure of his career, with 7.7% in 2017 being the next-closest — but he managed to collect 25 pressures and 5.5 sacks. The days of asking Judon to play 70% or more of his defense’s snaps are likely over, but he can still bring value as a potential complement to Marcus Davenport and any other edge rushers the Lions bring in.

Von Miller (Buffalo Bills)

Miller (6-3, 250 pounds) rebounded in 2024 after having the worst numbers of his career in 2023, when he was on the field for 32% of Buffalo’s defensive snaps but only managed 13 pressures and couldn’t bring the quarterback down once. Part of the reason for Miller’s dropoff in production was his four-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. His numbers in 2024 (32 pressures and 6.0 sacks) were much better, but the Bills opted to cut ties halfway through the mammoth six-year deal they gave him in 2022. Miller played about a third of Buffalo’s defensive reps last season, though his pass-rush win rate of 17.6% suggests he could perhaps handle a larger role.

Za’Darius Smith (Detroit Lions)

The Lions released Smith (6-4, 270 pounds) on March 10, a move that saved them $5.7 million of cap space in 2025 and $5.2 million in ’26. Smith, now an unrestricted free agent, is free to negotiate with other teams, and can return to the Lions if the sides agree on a new deal. However likely or unlikely that is, it wouldn’t be the worst idea, given how Smith was tied for third in the league in pressures (36) from Weeks 11-18. That was without having Aidan Hutchinson across from him, too. Getting to rush opposite Hutchinson would make Smith’s duties easier.

DeMarcus Walker (Chicago Bears)

It wouldn’t be the flashiest signing — Campbell, Judon, Miller and Smith have all previously made the Pro Bowl — but Walker (6-4, 280 pounds) is the youngest of the five names on this list, and his 39 pressures in 2024 were second only to Smith (63). Walker, released by the Bears in February, is durable — he’s appeared in every game over the last three seasons, and his defensive snap share since 2023 is about 68% — and consistent; his pass-rush win rate has been above 10% in three of his last four campaigns.

Kayode Awosika (Detroit Lions)

Awosika (6-3, 315 pounds) originally was a restricted free agent this offseason but now is unrestricted because the Lions did not tender him. He has started seven games over the last three seasons (plus the NFC Championship in 2023). He was leapfrogged on the depth chart by sixth-round rookie Christian Mahogany about midway through the 2024 campaign, but bringing him back would give the Lions competition in training camp (Awosika vs. Mahogany vs. Graham Glasgow) and provide familiar depth. He’d probably be the cheapest option on this list, too.

Will Hernandez (Arizona Cardinals)

A season-ending knee injury in Week 5 forced Hernandez (6-3, 332 pounds) to the shelf, but Holmes has never shied away from signing a player who missed time the previous season. Hernandez, who has some connections to the Lions (defensive lineman Roy Lopez and linebackers Trevor Nowaske and Ezekiel Turner are former teammates), began his professional career as a left guard but shifted to the right side in 2021. He’d seemingly be able to slide right in between center Frank Ragnow and right tackle Penei Sewell, taking the spot vacated by Kevin Zeitler, who left for the Tennessee Titans earlier this month.

Teven Jenkins (Chicago Bears)

It took a year for Jenkins (6-6, 320 pounds) to make the transition from tackle, but the second-round pick in 2021 has found a home at guard. He’s been at that spot (both left and right) for the last three seasons, registering overall offensive grades from Pro Football Focus of 80.7 (2022), 72.6 (2023) and 75.4 (2024). Jenkins, exclusively on the left side in 2024, was on the hook for 17 pressures allowed, the fewest among Bears offensive linemen who started at least 12 games last season.

Shaq Mason (Houston Texans)

Things didn’t go particularly well for Mason (6-1, 310 pounds) during his time in Houston, where he allowed 66 pressures over 32 starts at right guard. Mason had surrendered more than 30 pressures just once in his career prior to joining the Texans, but he did it in back-to-back seasons while trying to protect quarterback C.J. Stroud. One way he could get back to playing at his early-career level — when he turned in a PFF grade above 81.0 in three straight campaigns from 2016-18 — is having a couple of All-Pro caliber players, Ragnow and Sewell, flanking him.

Brandon Scherff (Jacksonville Jaguars)

Bringing in Scherff (6-5, 315 pounds) this offseason would have similar vibes to when the Lions added Zeitler. Both are veterans, and the price would assumably be similar; Zeitler inked a one-year deal worth $6 million last year, and Scherff’s market value, per Spotrac, sits at $6.7 million. Scherff, a first-round pick by Washington in 2015, has spent the last three seasons with the Jaguars. If he’s looking to start on a team capable of contending for a Super Bowl this late into his career, the Lions make sense.
