In a Touchdown Wire article discussing a free agent each NFL team should want to sign this offseason, Lions Wire's Jeff Risdon named Philadelphia Eagles edge Josh Sweat as the free agent the Lions should go after. Sweat has been with the Eagles for all seven of his NFL seasons and has been a key piece of their defense over the years.

In his latest piece for the league-owned site, the longtime NFL scout and scribe said the Lions possess the second biggest current Super Bowl window. The only team with a bigger window, according to Brooks: the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
