The Detroit Lions have been reloading this offseason and are not done yet. After re-signing several players since free agency began, the Lions are currently in talks to bring back running back Kevin Smith, according to sources. How much Smith seeking is currently unavailable. Smith, 25, re-signed with Detroit last November and had four starts in seven games. He finished the regular season with 72 carries for 356 yards and four touchdowns, plus had 22 receptions for 179 yards and three scores. "In every interview that I've done, even though I'm a free agent, I've referred to the team and me as us," Smith told MLive.com last month. "I'm on the Lions roster, in my opinion, until I'm not on the Lions roster. That says it all."
