The Lions have given an offer sheet to Rams restricted free agent Malcolm Brown, ESPN Insider Field Yates is reporting. The Rams have five days to match the Lions' offer to retain Brown or let him go to Detroit. Because Brown was tendered at an original round level and went undrafted, the Lions should not owe Los Angeles any compensation. He would give Detroit another potential back behind Kerryon Johnson along with Zach Zenner and Theo Riddick.

The Detroit Lions Podcast Episode 202 ? Detroit Lions Free Agency Files ft. Tony Ortiz. 89 minutes.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case continue to their drive to $10K for St. Jude Children?s Research Hospital. We also discuss Free Agency, bring an angle on Matthew Stafford that you haven?t heard anywhere else, talk about needs for the NFL Draft, and bring on Tony Ortiz, a longtime multi-talented Lions specialist straight off the radio in Detroit.

Detroit Lions Podcast Back On The Attack
We begin the show talking about new Lions pickup Tommy Lee Lewis. After Chris makes the obligatory Pamela Anderson joke we take a look at what he might bring to the team and where he may be lacking. Also, the Malcolm Brown offer breaks while we are recording and we hit that one a little later in the show.

From there Chris brings up a thought process on Matthew Stafford that you haven?t heard anywhere else. It?s an interesting take on how he might be thinking about his career, where his head is at, and what might weigh on his thinking when contract time comes around. Don?t freak out, but it?s another set of data that certainly will weigh in on his decision-making process. This is another time where we think beyond the standard fare on the Detroit Lions Podcast.

Of course we discuss our drive to 10K for St. Jude. Please be sure to tell anyone you know about this effort and take part if you haven?t.

Next we go into draft mode and discuss the concept of ?trading down? and what it would take. We also break down why we might, how we might, and what it might cost based upon different scenarios.

Addressing The Lions Biggest Need
It was then time to talk about the CB2 position. It?s the talk of the town and the most glaring need for the team at this point. The Detroit Lions Podcast discusses who is available, what they might mean to the team, and how this could wind up playing out for the Lions.

We are then pleased to bring Tony Ortiz onto the show. He is an amazing guest that brings some really fresh thinking to how the Lions might be positioning the team and how they may position the players they?ve picked up and where the Lions may be focusing in the draft. Tony is a welcome addition to the Detroit Lions Podcast.

Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming Detroit Lions Podcast!

Trey Flowers named ?most significant upgrade? in free agency.
One publication thinks Detroit has made the most significant free agent signing.

Oh, you thought we were done hyping the Trey Flowers addition in free agency? Heck no, it?s only been a week.

The latest NFL analyst to hype up the Detroit Lions? biggest free agency signing is Ian Wharton of Bleacher Report. Wharton listed the top 10 ?most significant upgrades? in free agency, and the move to add Flowers came in at No. 1 on the list.

?He?s replacing the old and broken-down Ezekiel Ansah, who had just four sacks in limited action last year,? Wharton wrote. ?Flowers has produced 21 over the last three seasons, but he?s constantly been in the backfield as a sack-opportunity creator for his teammates.?

As Wharton notes, Flowers? pass rush is only part of his appeal. He?s also an excellent run defender, and considering just how good the Lions were at stopping the run towards the end of last season after Detroit added Damon Harrison Sr., Flowers could make this defense near impossible to run against.

(Though ignore the part where he suggested Kerry Hyder may benefit from his presence. I don?t think Flowers? play in Detroit will affect Hyder, who is with the Cowboys now).
