The NFL free agency period began Tuesday afternoon. The Lions are not expected to be very active in the open market, except in re-signing their own players, but Detroit Free Press' Davie Birkett did tweet that the Lions will be hosting an offensive lineman on Friday:

Schwartz was a seventh round pick in the 2008 draft and played in all 32 games in his first two seasons. He missed all of last year with a hip injury, but is considered a pretty good and versatile offensive lineman that could be relatively cheap.
