After one of the better seasons in franchise history, the Detroit Lions have been busy so far this offseason, with the team making a slew of moves ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, which begins later this month.
After all of those moves, the Lions have a little over $25 million in effective cap space (the cap space a team will have after signing at least 51 players and its projected rookie class to its roster), per Over the Cap, which ranks as the fourth-most in the NFL.
But expect general manager Brad Holmes to use at least some of that in the coming weeks and months, as the Lions still have some positions to shore up.
Before this list inevitably changes, here’s a look at the Lions’ top-20 cap hits right now for the 2024 season.
