CB Jamel Dean or James Bradberry
DL DreMont Jones, Marcus Devenport, Yannick Ngakoue or Dalvin Tomlinson
So if we're talking about a trade-for-big-contract guy we also should be talking about just the sign-to-big-contract guys as well.

This is a great list.
I particularly like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. especially after reading albion's take, and Javon Hargrave (Daron Payne has been franchised). I am not sure if the Lions could afford those two and Lavonte David (likely not), but that would be a huge injection of veteran talent for the team and give the Lions more flexibility in the draft.
