Where the Lions roster stands: Offense

Now that the 2012 season is officially over, the time has come to fully shift into offseason mode. We've spent the last month or so reviewing the 2012 season, but now we will begin to focus on the offseason. To do that, we'll analyze the roster in the coming weeks on a position-by-position basis to establish what the Detroit Lions have and what needs exist.

Before we jump into this series, we first need to take a general look at the roster. Which players are under contract and for how long? And which players are set to become free agents? Starting with the offense, you can find all of that information below. (For salary information, check out the Free Press' excellent cap breakdown.)

Note: UFA = unrestricted free agent, RFA = restricted free agent and ERFA = exclusive-rights free agent.
