The Detroit Lions are actively enhancing their roster as they met with veteran defensive end DeMarcus Walker, who is exploring his options in free agency. A former second-round pick in 2017, Walker has spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears, showcasing his potential by starting all 17 games last season and tallying 3.5 sacks along with 47 tackles.

Walker, who recorded a career-high seven sacks during his time with the Tennessee Titans, is also set to visit the New York Giants, indicating stiff competition for his services. The Lions are looking to reinforce their pass-rushing capabilities, especially with Aidan Hutchinson already established as a key player on the edge.

With the NFL Draft on the horizon, the Lions are expected to address their defensive needs further, but signing Walker could provide immediate depth and experience to their roster.
