Lions Sign Zach Cunningham, Reshape Linebacker Room

News summary

The Detroit Lions have signed veteran linebacker Zach Cunningham to boost their defense ahead of organized team activities, adding him to a linebacker group that includes Alex Anzalone, Jack Campbell, and Derrick Barnes. Cunningham, who led the NFL in tackles in 2020, played for the Denver Broncos last season and also has experience with the Texans, Titans, and Eagles, though his recent production has declined. Alex Anzalone, the team's defensive captain, has expressed interest in a new contract and was absent from recent voluntary workouts. Off the field, Shaun Dion Hamilton is set for his first season as linebackers coach after being promoted due to Kelvin Sheppard's elevation to defensive coordinator. Hamilton is recognized for his football intelligence and preparation. These changes reflect Detroit's strategy to strengthen both their roster and coaching staff as they prepare for a deeper playoff push.
