Lions targeting Matt Judon to enhance pass rush

The Detroit Lions are still looking to improve their defense as they enter the third week of free agency. Their main need is finding an edge rusher to complement star player Aidan Hutchinson. The team recently released Za'Darius Smith, making their search even more urgent. They also re-signed Marcus Davenport, but he has had injury issues in the past. Sports analysts believe the Lions should consider signing veteran edge rusher Matt Judon, who is currently a free agent. Judon, who previously played for the Atlanta Falcons, is seen as a strong No. 2 option rather than a top player. Last season, he recorded only 5.5 sacks, his lowest since 2016. However, some believe he could perform better alongside Hutchinson. Judon is recovering from an injury that limited his previous season, but he could still be valuable for the Lions. Analysts expect he could sign a two-year deal worth around $8.4 million, which the Lions can afford. While fans may hope for a bigger signing, bringing Judon on board could help the Lions' pass rush significantly.
