Another option for the Lions may arise due to a stick situation in the NFC South.

If no agreement is reached, Evans may be traded by the Buccaneers as he plays the final year of his contract.

Robinson suggests 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, with rookies Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta potentially being the next best options in the passing game.
