The Detroit Lions will not re-sign wide receiver Josh Reynolds after all.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on March 27 that Reynolds agreed to a 2-year deal with the Denver Broncos. The contract will be worth up to $14 million.
Reynolds signing with the Broncos comes just one day after Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed that the team wanted Reynolds to stay in Detroit.
“Look, we’re still in contact with J-Rey,” Campbell said, via The Detroit News’ Justin Rogers. “I don’t think it’s a secret what we think about him as far as type of player he is; the unselfishness, the dirty work, the versatility. Look, I love J-Rey and that doesn’t mean something won’t get done.”
In two and a half seasons with the Lions, Reynolds posted 97 catches for 1,393 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. During 2023, he finished second among Lions wideouts with 40 receptions, 608 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.
