DONE DEAL: Lions coach have Sign UFL Star for WR Help
As the 2024 season approaches, the Detroit Lions have a fairly strong squad, but they are still looking for a receiver. Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond, and Amon-Ra St. Brown make comprise Detroit’s current strong receiving group. However, they want to have the sharpest offensive line possible, and for that reason, a former UFL great is useful. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cincinnati Bengals have cut wide receiver Hakeem Butler along with ten other players. Butler might be precisely what Detroit needs.

The Current Receivers for the Detroit Lions
In a meeting with reporters on August 20, Dan Campbell talked about the three receivers the Lions now have. Regarding Raymond, he made it obvious that he is Detroit’s third receiver, behind Williams and St. Brown. According to Campbell, Raymond is currently a receiver three (New York Times). “Our belief has always been that Leaf is a fantastic returner who offers a unique set of skills to the receiving position. He’s a returner with a little gadgetry and some underneath quickness. You’d want to (play him) 20 plays a game, 25 plays a game, to maximize both, guy. Thus, although we’d prefer not to play him 65 plays in a game, we will if necessary.
“So sure, he’s receiver three right now and that’s OK,” Campbell continued. However, that’s the reason it would be good to see someone stand up because, in my opinion, it simply makes everyone in the room a bit more powerful.
