The Detroit Lions had a strong passing game in 2022, but will be missing receiver Jameson Williams at the start of the 2023 season due to suspension.
Another option for the Lions may arise due to a stick situation in the NFC South.
Pro Football Network's Dallas Robinson suggests the Lions as a possible destination for Mike Evans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver who wants a new contract and has set a deadline for signing one.
If no agreement is reached before the season, Evans may be traded by the Buccaneers as he plays out the final year of his contract.
Robinson said the Lions could be interested if Pro Bowler becomes available.
Robinson suggests that the Lions need a reliable second option alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Evans could be a good fit.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is Detroit's top wide receiver, but rookies Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta could be good options too. Jameson Williams was suspended for 6 games.
Robinson mentioned that the Lions were not involved in pursuing top wide receivers like DeAndre Hopkins.
