Lions Success Will Attract Free Agents
The Detroit Lions have had a historically good season thus far in 2023. Tying the all-time franchise record for wins in a season. Finishing 12-5 on the year, Detroit now has the opportunity to do something great for once. Attract Free Agents next year.
The season Detroit has had is an inspiring sign for so many Detroiters. This franchise has never brought its fans a Super Bowl trophy. Fans are absolutely starved for a winning team. Because of the recent success Detroit can now start to really attract quality free agents.
Dan Campbell came into a trash heap of a team a few years ago and made his mission clear. He set out to evaluate what he had and clean it up. Now we sit at 12-5 and will be hosting the first playoff game in Ford Field’s history. Because of Dan Campbells shifting of the culture, bringing hard work and toughness, Detroit can now attract free agents.

Success Attracts Free Agents
It’s something the city of Detroit has struggled with for a long time. Especially in this sports climate where players have all the power. For the longest time nobody wanted to willingly play and live in Detroit over Miami, Los Angeles, New York etc. Free agents finally will want to be a part of this. The biggest reason? Dan Campbell.
I’m not saying Detroit will be signing Chris Jones next season. But what I am saying is that Superstar free agents will now start considering Detroit as an option. For so long this city hasn’t even been in consideration for the best place to play. We have Campbell to thank for future free agents wanting to come over and be part of something special.

That’s the true mark that a franchise is doing something right. At long last, the Ford’s got it right. They hired the right General Manager and the Right Head Coach.
Now the right personnel is in place to win games. This team will only go up from here and hopefully they make a big splash with a big free agent signing. Regardless of what happens in the postseason, the impact of Campbell is already clear.

What People Are Saying
Lineups.com says last weekend’s Cowboys game, albeit frustrating, shows that the Lions could make it to the Super Bowl. “The Lions performance against the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday on primetime was eye opening for all the right reasons,” they state.
They add, “Even in a loss, that type of performance was much needed to give Lions backers assurance that they can compete with them in a potential rematch in the playoffs.”

Next challenge
Jared Goff and company’s next challenge is the Lions vs. Vikings game this Sunday (Jan. 7) at 1 p.m. EST. This game isn’t super important to the Lions, as they’ll probably end up a No. 3 seed regardless. What will be interesting is to see who clinches the No. 6 seed and goes up against the Lions in the wildcard round.
