Lions add new weapon for Jared Goff in former Cardinals receiver

NFL Free Agency is still moving along as veteran players are finding new homes or resigning with their former ballclubs. The Detroit Lions are making a potential underrated signing by bringing in a former playmaker for the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Greg Dortch has signed a one-year deal with the Lions to potentially be a weapon for Jared Goff. Tom Pelissero was on the news first.

“Former Cardinals WR Greg Dortch is signing a one-year deal with the Lions, sources tell me and RapSheet. A reunion with new Lions OC Drew Petzing, who coached the speedy Dortch the past three years in Arizona.”

Dortch played five seasons with the Red Birds. He caught a total of 145 passes for 1,310 yards and 1o touchdowns. He was never a legit top threat, but used mostly in the slot, Dortch was relied upon to make big plays and be a mismatch among linebackers and or whoever was defending him.

The wage of the contract has yet to be reported, but it likely won’t be worth more than a few million. Dortch joins a very good Lions offense ready to make a run to the Super Bowl.

With David Montgomery now gone and with the Houston Texans, Isaiah Pacheco signed to be the backup behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Dortch now joins a receiver room led by Amron Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Isaac TeSlaa is emerging as a very good receiver as well. Dortch could find himself earning valuable playing time alongside that trio. He will be one to watch this upcoming training camp.
