The Detroit Lions have added another wide receiver to an already talented offense, announcing they have acquired Donovan People-Jones from the Cleveland Browns in exchanged for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Lions general manager Brad Holmes had the details of the deal along with comments on acquiring Peoples-Jones, who played at Michigan and is a Detroit native. 

“He’s had good production in the past. He’ll be a good fit here,” Holmes said. “I just talked to the kid. He’s fired up to make this process happen.” 

Detroit adds Peoples-Jones to a wide receiver core that has Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds, and Kalif Raymond. Peoples-Jones has just eight catches for 97 yards in seven games this season, this after a year which he finished with 61 catches for 839 yards and three touchdowns. 

Peoples-Jones has 1,837 yards and eight touchdowns in four seasons. The 2020 sixth-round pick will be a free agent at the end of the year.
