Players who have been released by other teams and have accumulated four or more seasons are immediately available for free agency. Players with three or fewer seasons will first have to clear waivers before being granted free agency.
After Tuesday’s deadline, the Lions and the rest of the NFL teams have until Wednesday at noon ET to submit their waiver claims. The Lions are expected to be active either on the waiver list or in the free agent market, primarily because they desperately need to add personnel at receiver.
