The Lions are bringing in safety Andrew Adams for a visit, ESPN has confirmed. The Detroit Free Press first reported the visit. Adams played most of last season in Tampa Bay, where he had a career-high four interceptions and nine passes defended in nine games. Prior to Tampa, Adams played in 2016 and 2017 with the Giants -- a theme among defenders the Lions have often looked at. He played college football at Connecticut. He could be a third safety-type for the Lions, competing with Tavon Wilson (and theoretically Tracy Walker) if he were to sign in Detroit.

The Lions have made the Trey Flowers signing official -- announcing it on their Twitter feed. Flowers signed a five-year deal worth $90 million, including a $28.07 million signing bonus and total guarantees (both full and for injury-only) of $56 million. His 2019 cap hit of $6.419 million is manageable. He has guaranteed non-bonus money worked into the first three years of his deal and roster bonuses he can achieve in the final two years of his contract.
