Wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones will be back with the Detroit Lions for the 2024 season.
Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported on March 16 that Peoples-Jones agreed to return to Detroit on a 1-year contract worth as much as $2 million.
“Breaking: Free agent WR Donovan Peoples-Jones is re-signing with the Lions for 1-year, up to $2 million, source tells Bleacher Report,” wrote Schultz on X (formerly Twitter).
“Detroit prioritized keeping DPJ, who the organization believes is a rising player at just 25 years old.”
The Lions acquired Peoples-Jones at the 2023 NFL trade deadline on October 31. Detroit sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for the receiver.
In eight games with the Lions, Peoples-Jones had 5 receptions for 58 yards on 7 targets.
