Every day we’ll take a look at one of the Detroit Lions heading for free agency, what he has meant to the team before and a prognosis on whether he will be back with the club in 2015. Previous free agents profiled are here.

Free agent to be: Andre Fluellen

Position: Defensive tackle

Age: 29

Years in the league: 7

What he made last season: Signing at midseason, Fluellen cost $268,235 against the cap and made $343,529 in base salary according to ESPN Stats & Information. His initial base salary was $730,000 before proration.

What he did last season: He had one of the best seasons of his career in 2014. He had 10 tackles in eight games -- his most in a season since 2011 -- and recorded a career-high two sacks. He was primarily a rotation tackle behind Ndamukong Suh and C.J. Mosley, and also played some defensive end in sub packages.

His potential market value: Low. He is still a low-end defensive tackle who won’t have much more than veteran minimum interest from teams other than Detroit, if that. In his entire career, he has only been somewhere other than Detroit once -- for two games in 2012 with Miami.

Will he fit the Lions: Sure. He’s a 4-3 tackle with some versatility. The Lions like that and have always liked him. He’s a player who has shown time and again that he will come to the franchise in shape and ready to go whenever that is -- be it from the start of the season or midway through the year like last season. With the Lions needing to spend more money elsewhere, he is a cheap, safe option.

What happens: The Lions love Fluellen, who was initially drafted in 2008 by the club. He has been re-signed by the team eight times since and will likely add No. 9 at some point during this offseason prior to training camp. He’s a high-character guy who is good in the locker room and provides versatility at end or tackle for what will be the league minimum.
