The Detroit Lions continue to raid the NFC North for talent, signing former Minnesota Vikings defensive end DJ. Want them to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million. This comes after they added quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and tied in Tyler Conklin for Minnesota in the past week. One of them, who spent the last two seasons with the Carolina Panthers, brings needed depth to Detroit's edge rush.

Over his six-year career with 86 games and 54 starts, he has 30 sacks total. At six feet five inches and 258 pounds, he offers versatility, lining up in different spots on the defensive line. Fans fans are excited, but concerned about the team's thin edge rotation, which currently

For a team with Super Bowl hopes, this signing highlights the need for more past rush help. Oneum was a fourth round picked by the Vikings in the 2020 draft, where he made memorable plays like a game ending sack on Aaron Rogers as they see. He evolved into a reliable depth option, thriving in specific situations rather than every down. Detroit has been active in free agency, adding players like Running Back, Isaiah Pacheco, cornerbacks Roger McCreary, and Rocky Asin, and others while, losing some depth pieces.
