Detroit Lions - Team Notes

http://www.profootballrumors.com/2016/05/finding-a-landing-spot-for-andre-roberts
Landing spot for Andre Roberts.
ProFootballRumors

Detroit Lions ? Even after signing Marvin Jones to a five-year, $40MM deal in March, the Lions could still use more help at receiver following the retirement of Calvin Johnson. On the inside, two free agent signees ? Jeremy Kerley and Andre Caldwell ? figure to compete for playing time, but Roberts looks to be a superior option to either of them. Although touches could be hard to come by in Detroit, especially if tight end Eric Ebron sees more targets, Roberts would make for a solid No. 3 in the Motor City.
 
Lions safety Glover Quin believes teammate Darius Slay is one of the 10 best cornerbacks in the NFL, but there?s one thing missing from his game.

?Everybody is going to say it from now until the end of time ? he?s a great, great, great cover guy. The only thing that he can do to take it to the next level is intercept the ball. I mean, that?s it,? Quin said Wednesday (via Kyle Meinke of MLive.com). Slay has just four interceptions during his three-year career ? all of which came during the previous two campaigns ? but Pro Football Focus graded him as the second-best corner in the league last season (111 qualifiers).

Thanks to his reputation as a shutdown corner, Slay should land a sizable raise between now and the expiration of his contract after next season. A deal could be in the works, as Slay?s agent ? Drew Rosenhaus ? was at Lions practice Thursday.

Lions WLB DeAndre Levy (hip) is expected to be fully cleared for training camp.
Levy practiced without issue at voluntary workouts. He?s finally over the hip injury that cost him all but one 2015 game. Levy?s return will upgrade a Lions defense that took a major step back without him last year.
