2025 NFL Signings Graded by Team: Detroit Lions

Change Team:

This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Detroit Lions. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Signings


Lions sign NT Roy Lopez (1 year, $3.5 million): B Grade
signed on 3/17/2025


Roy Lopez is a nose tackle who is mediocre against the run who doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher. He figures to be a decent depth player, so it makes sense for the Lions to sign someone like him, given the insane number of injuries they endured last year.

Lions re-sign WR Tim Patrick (1 year, $4 million): A+ Grade
signed on 3/15/2025


Tim Patrick continues to be criminally underrated. Patrick was a great addition to the Lions last year, as he was obtained cheaply and out-produced the compensation. He’s not the same receiver he once was now that he’s 31, but he’s a reliable tertiary threat for Jared Goff who will continue to play at a very cheap price.
