The Lions number one priority, along with preparing for this April's draft, should be working overtime to retain the services of DE/DT Cory Redding. Redding who enjoyed a break-out season last year after moving to DT and recorded eight QB sacks. Early indications are that Redding would like to remain in Detroit, but the negotiations will be tenuous. Redding stock has risen around the league and he could command a big payday on the open market.
Should Redding choose to become a free agent, the Lions could protect their interest in Redding by applying the transition or franchise tag to him, which would decrease the likelihood of him leaving for greener pastures. The rub is, what is Redding's future position with the organization. Defensive Ends are generally paid more than tackles and Redding played there for most of his career. The Lions should pay Redding now as a DE (even if he will play DT) so that this does not become an eventual issue.
Redding has exhibited exemplary character and it seems likely that his best days are ahead of him. It will be a ridiculous shame if the Lions are unable to realize this and don't find a way to make Redding happy.
