Detroit Lions Strategy And Personnel 3-14-12

The Lions announced they made tender offers to three of their four restricted free agents.

Linebacker DeAndre Levy received a second-round tender, while defensive tackle Sammie Hill (fourth) and offensive tackle Corey Hilliard (sixth) received original-round tenders. The Lions are not tendering linebacker Ashlee Palmer, their fourth restricted free agent.

Levy, a third-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2009, said he plans to sign his tender soon.

"I'm happy to be back," he told the Detroit Free Press. "I think last year was an important year for us and, hopefully, we have enough guys back that we can continue building on that and finish what we started, however long it takes."
