Huh. That's interesting. The Lions are going to have to make a decision regarding Cory Redding. They switched him to defensive tackle mid-way through the season due to injuries and he really played well. The Lions will keep him, most like franchise him, but it will be interesting to see if he's franchised as DE (which has was drafted as and played throughout his career until last year) or DT. The difference in money is significant.
I assume he'll be franchised as DE, though I have no idea how that works or what the rules governing it are.
