Detroit Lions podcast: Free agency preview, Part 1: Ezekiel Ansah and the running game

With the franchise tag period now open for play, and a few teams already moving on from some cap casualties, we have officially entered the roster maneuvering portion of the offseason. In the next few weeks, we will see teams make a move on their own free agents, and before you know it, free agency will be upon us.

So after weeks of waiting, the PODcast finally, but begrudgingly, accepts that it’s time to preview the Detroit Lions’ free agency. On this week’s episode, we focus mostly on the offense and Detroit’s key decision on Ezekiel Ansah.
