In the wide-open NFC North, the Detroit Lions have steadily landed more attention as the projected division winner. The roster may need a boost at receiver, though.
Amon-Ra St. Brown has established himself as a rising star, but Detroit may struggle to find a reliable second option.
Marvin Jones Jr., Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond should all have promising moments, but their production likely won't be consistent. Jameson Williams is hugely talented, but he's facing a six-game gambling suspension and has only 78 snaps of NFL experience.
Evans would immediately change that discussion.
Last season, Detroit added a 2024 third-rounder from the Minnesota Vikings in the T.J. Hockenson trade. Provided the Lions are atop the NFC North in October, they could part with a Day 2 selection and bolster their offense in preparation for a playoff run.
As every Lions fan knows all too well, the franchise should not waste any opportunity to make the postseason.
St. Brown and Williams are presumably the future of the wide receiver position in Detroit. But armed with north of $68 million in cap space for next season, the Lions wouldn't necessarily have to view Evans as a rental.
