Roster StrengthDefense Rating
Maddox gives Detroit veteran flexibility at both safety and nickel corner while the secondary is already operating without Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Losing that versatility would narrow the Lions' subpackage options and put more coverage responsibility on Christian Izien, Chuck Clark and the remaining corner rotation.
