Lions | GM not ruling out big roster shakeup

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said there is a chance the team makes a major overhaul of the roster this offseason after the team went 4-12 this season. "Yeah, I think there is a possibility there (to extremely revamp the roster)," Mayhew said. "I think one of the reasons we wanted to get everybody back (last season) is because we were coming off a season where we had some success. Obviously, coming off this season, we want to look at everything that we're doing. Like I said, from a front office standpoint, a coaching standpoint and a players standpoint. Obviously, we're not doing well enough, and you should expect to see some changes on our roster." Mayhew said the team will not make decisions based on money but by each players' performance this season.
