Why Detroit Lions Should Sign ‘Underrated’ WR to Help Jared Goff

The Detroit Lions believe this is finally the year.

After barnstorming to the NFC Championship Game last season, and taking the San Francisco 49ers to the brink with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, the Lions’ exciting young core has the potential to take one major step toward hoisting the franchise’s first Lombardi this season.

The Lions also committed $212 million to Goff this season, through the 2028 campaign, on the heels of the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft passing for 4,575 yards with 30 touchdowns to 12 interceptions in 2023.

As the 2024 season looms, Pro Football Focus suggests the Lions’ biggest remaining priority should be bolstering a receiving corps that already features playmaker Amon-Ra St. Brown, downfield burner Jameson Williams, and Kalif Raymond.

“While Amon-Ra St. Brown has emerged as one of the league’s best receivers over the past two seasons,” Thomas Valentine writes for PFF. “The Lions are still hoping Jameson Williams can live up to his draft billing. He caught 24 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns in 2023 but has yet to really put the pieces together.

“Donovan Peoples-Jones and Kalif Raymond can be tertiary contributors, and Sam LaPorta will see his fair share of targets. Still, Detroit needs a true outside receiver. The free-agent market doesn’t offer much in that archetype, but could the Lions be a potential landing spot for Brandon Aiyuk, Tee Higgins or Davante Adams?”
