Maybe we've got an early sign this is Detroit's year. It initially looked bad when C.J. Gardner-Johnson was carted off the field before we even realized practices started. But the new Lions defensive back - signed away from the Eagles - reportedly feels OK, making this the kind of fortunate break this franchise isn't accustomed to.

Lions fans and bettors will be on their toes for signs from above since they rarely have preseason expectations this high. We don't usually touch on season awards until the end of this article, but Dan Campbell being the favorite to win Coach of the Year deserves mentioning as soon as possible. Maybe award voters will be impressed if Detroit takes the NFC North, but the betting market won't be surprised.

The Lions are 23-11 against the spread in Campbell's first two seasons. That record will endear him to us, but you normally need to beat the betting market by quite a bit to win Coach of the Year.

2023 season odds

MARKET	ODDS (O/U)
Win total	9.5 (-125/+105)
Division	+130
Conference	+1000
Super Bowl	+2200
Estimated rating	58/100

The bar is set high for Detroit in betting markets. The team's futures odds and win total put it in the same tier as clubs that made the playoffs last season - Cowboys, Chargers, and Dolphins - or added a future Hall of Fame quarterback - Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. Time will tell whether that's fair. With their checkered history, the Lions haven't had the chance to disappoint in this way. They haven't been favored to win their division since it was called the NFC Central. This is Detroit's highest win total in 30 years.

The Lions are projected favorites in 11 games this season. After getting the surprising honor of opening night in Kansas City, their season might be shaped by a run of five games in which they're currently favored by between 1.5 and five points. Outside of Week 1, every one of their games might have a line under six points.

What's to like about the Lions

Ben Johnson's offense might not be a finished product. However, the offensive coordinator's high-leverage play-calling is outstanding, and you can move the skill-position pieces around the way Detroit does when your offensive line is stacked - especially if Halapoulivaati Vaitai returns from a back injury.

In a continuing effort to improve the defense, the Lions got solid production last season from a pair of 2022 sixth-round selections, with James Houston recording eight sacks and Malcolm Rodriguez compiling 87 tackles. Add 2022 first-round pick Aidan Hutchinson and 2023 first-round pick Jack Campbell, and you've got exemplary roster building.

What's not to like about the Lions

While the Lions have done well building the front seven, they've swung and missed in those same efforts in the secondary. The Gardner-Johnson injury scare illuminates concerns. Detroit almost fully overhauled a unit that gave up the third-most passing yards last campaign. But until we see it on the field, the secondary is still a question mark in a league getting more pass-heavy by the season.

Jameson Williams got into some games after returning from his knee injury but received a six-game suspension by the NFL this offseason. Detroit will have to wait for his potential production. Marvin Jones is back, and the Lions hope to get one last quality season out of him. That puts a lot on Amon-Ra St. Brown's shoulders for key targets from Jared Goff.

It might take a 40-touchdown campaign from Goff if Detroit is going to surpass these new lofty expectations and rise to a division-winning 10-plus-win team. The quarterback isn't known for loving cold-weather football, but only a December trip to Chicago versus the Bears - a defense on the rebuild - puts him in uncomfortable conditions. Do we dare suggest Goff as this year's dark-horse MVP? Admittedly, a most-passing-yards bet is a more feasible market.

The replaceability of running backs has been a hot topic this summer. There's no better example of the concern than the Lions moving on from Jamaal Williams, last season's league leader in touchdowns, and D'Andre Swift, an explosive playmaker when healthy. That could be construed as a devaluation of assets at the tailback position, but Detroit spent its first-round pick on Jahmyr Gibbs. The rookie rusher has the ceiling of prime Alvin Kamara. If that's the case, he'll replace Williams and Swift's combined 22 rushing and three receiving touchdowns. With that kind of opportunity to pile up stats, the Offensive Rookie of the Year might be Gibbs' floor if he can stay healthy.

Free agency is an exciting time, inspiring new hope for teams and fans alike. But plenty of high-profile moves don't end well.

These 10 signings from the 2020 class are likely to yield regret:

QB Ryan Tannehill ➡️ Tennessee Titans

Contract: 4 years, $118M

In one of the deepest quarterback classes in free-agency history, the Titans panicked right before the market opened and overpaid Tannehill. In their defense, no team wants to risk losing its quarterback after reaching the conference title game for the first time in 17 years. Still, $118 million - $62 million fully guaranteed with $91 million guaranteed for injury - is a lot to commit to a guy with a relatively small sample of excellence and a much larger one of mediocrity.

DE Robert Quinn ➡️ Chicago Bears

Contract: 5 years, $70M

This wouldn't be as bad if the Bears weren't already spending a boatload of cash on Khalil Mack. Between Quinn and Mack, Chicago will have over $35 million tied up in a pair of edge rushers this season. In 2021, their cap numbers will exceed $40 million combined. Quinn is coming off one of his best seasons, as he totaled 11.5 sacks with the Dallas Cowboys. But he'll turn 30 years old in May and was on a downward trajectory before 2019. There had to be a more financially efficient way for the Bears to bolster their edge presence.

LB Joe Schobert ➡️ Jacksonville Jaguars

Contract: 5 years, $53.75M

The Jaguars have too many needs to justify paying an inside linebacker over $10 million annually. Schobert is fine against the run, but so are plenty of others available in free agency and the draft. He doesn't have much value as a pass-rusher and has struggled in coverage for most of his career. Jacksonville has a history of spending on linebackers - Telvin Smith, Paul Posluszny, and Myles Jack have all been beneficiaries - and its track record suggests this is simply not the best allocation of resources.

OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai ➡️ Detroit Lions

Contract: 5 years, $50M

A player with four starts over the past two years got $50 million from the Lions. Yes, Vaitai played well for the Philadelphia Eagles during their Super Bowl year when he filled in for an injured Jason Peters at left tackle, but his consistency has dwindled when pressed into duty since then. The Eagles drafted Andre Dillard in the first round last year because they didn't view Vaitai, who they deployed as a swing tackle, as a viable long-term fixture. The Lions plan to install Vatai at right tackle full time with the hope their counterparts were wrong.

CB Trae Waynes ➡️ Cincinnati Bengals

Contract: 3 years, $42M

The Bengals can get away with overpaying some free agents since the quarterback they draft first overall will come with an affordable contract, but they shouldn't get reckless. Cincinnati guaranteed $15 million to Waynes, a league-average cornerback who will have $10 million of dead cap money in 2021 and $5 million in 2022. The Bengals needed to upgrade their secondary but should've done so without giving Waynes the sixth-highest average annual salary among NFL corners.

DT Michael Brockers ➡️ Los Angeles Rams

Contract: 3 years, $31.5M

If the Rams weren't willing to match or exceed the three-year, $30-million offer Brockers initially accepted from the Baltimore Ravens, why did they offer more after his agreement fell through? The move to re-sign Brockers for $31.5 million is even more perplexing since the Rams already agreed to a two-year, $17-million deal with A'Shawn Robinson, who's younger and fills the same role. Los Angeles now has $19 million annually tied up in two defensive tackles not named Aaron Donald, and that's too much for the perennially cap-strapped Rams.

OL Ereck Flowers ➡️ Miami Dolphins

Contract: 3 years, $30M

To his credit, Flowers revived his career with the Washington Redskins after moving from tackle to guard, but it's not as if he became a star. The Dolphins badly needed to improve their offensive line and had plenty of cap space, but it's hard to understand why they didn't use their flexibility to target better or more established players than Flowers. If the rumblings about his work ethic with the New York Giants were accurate, the Dolphins could quickly regret making Flowers one of the highest-paid voices in their locker room.

WR Randall Cobb ➡️ Houston Texans

Contract: 3 years, $27M

The value of the contract is actually pretty fair; it's just hard to fathom that Bill O'Brien spent a bunch of money on Cobb immediately after trading DeAndre Hopkins, arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL. If the Texans felt they were going to need a wide receiver after moving Hopkins, why did they settle for a second-round pick and David Johnson's awful contract in return for Deshaun Watson's best weapon? Oh, and if you thought O'Brien might be frustrated by all of Will Fuller's hamstring strains and other soft tissue ailments, wait until he meets Cobb.

RB Melvin Gordon ➡️ Denver Broncos

Contract: 2 years, $16M

The contract isn't horrible, but the Broncos already had a legitimate workhorse in Phillip Lindsay, who will want to get paid as a restricted free agent in 2021. Gordon gives Denver great depth in the backfield - Royce Freeman isn't too shabby as a No. 3 option - but running back is one of the easier positions to develop depth at and the Broncos have other needs. It seems inevitable John Elway will come to regret spending $16 million on a part-time player at a position he hardly needed to address.

TE Jimmy Graham ➡️ Chicago Bears

Contract: 2 years, $16M, includes no-trade clause

Graham looked like a shell of his former self over the last two seasons with the Green Bay Packers, if not before then with the Seattle Seahawks. The Bears went into the offseason desperate for help at tight end - a valuable position in head coach Matt Nagy's scheme - but Trey Burton is still probably their best option. It's a bad look for general manager Ryan Pace that Graham, who turns 34 years old in November, also secured a no-trade clause.

The Detroit Lions bolstered their blocking unit Monday, agreeing to terms on a five-year contract worth $50 million with offensive tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Vaitai spent the first four seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, seeing snaps at four different positions after Philadelphia selected him in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The 26-year-old was inconsistent during his time as a starter and swing tackle in Philadelphia, but he was the team's starting left tackle when it captured Super Bowl LII. The 6-foot-6 blocker has started 20 of his 55 career NFL games.

Vaitai will likely compete for snaps at right tackle in Detroit after the Lions released Rick Wagner.
