Jefferson will want to get paid. We can't afford that.
So who are the top 2 or 3 FA's you would like to get?
Wouldn't mind seeing Reilly and Walker reunited.
Assuming they can re-sign their own key players, the Lions' priorities in free agency should be the defensive line, linebacker and American wide receiver. Some of the top names at those positions include several ex-Lions:
DL:
Willie Jefferson (CFL's top defensive player may be too pricey for the Lions but he is a game changer reportedly targeted by Ed Hervey)
Ja’Gared Davis (54 tackles, 13 sacks in 2019 with Hamilton)
LB
Solomon Elimimian (ex-Lion who proved in 2019 he is still one of the league's best. There may be too much bad blood with Ed Hervey.)
Larry Dean (Led Edmonton's second-ranked defence with 86 tackles in 2019 after signing as a prized FA from Hamilton)
Cameron Judge (talented national would instantly upgrade the weakside LB position without affecting the ratio)
Micah Awe (another hard hitting ex-Lion with 44 defensive tackles, 1 INT in 10 games with the Argos in 2019)
WR
Derel Walker (1040 yards and 6 TDs in 15 games with the Argos in 2019)
Shaq Evans (Rider all-star is likely out of reach financially but 72 catches for 1334 yards makes him a prized catch)
Bralom Addison (CFL all-star with 95 catches for 1236 yards and 7 TDs in 2019 with Hamilton)
