The 2026 Detroit Lions offseason figures to be a busy one. The team is going through a serious transition on the offensive line; they’ve already agreed to trade away a key skill position player, and with a bunch of pending free agents on the defensive side of the ball, the 2026 roster could look significantly different than last year’s.

So to keep track of all the Lions’ offseason moves—including free agent signings, trades, releases, and everything else—we’ve put together a tracker that will follow

every transaction. That not only includes players that the Lions add or re-sign, but also where Lions free agents end up. If Detroit loses a free agent to a new team, you’ll see it represented below. We’ll also add links to any analysis pieces related to each move, including grades and contract breakdowns.

And the great things about these trackers is that they offer a historical look at each Lions offseason. You can look back at the entire Brad Holmes era and see how he’s done by checking out the 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 versions here.
