All right, Brad Holmes He said throughout the preseason the Lions with four wide receivers makes the room a little bit light now He says he likes the flavor of the room, even though it's light Well, there's a potential signing out there in the works that the Lions may be in on that could have huge potential Indeed and a huge upside for the Lions heading into that opening day I was first reported by mirror u.s. Sports yesterday that Darius Slayton Was released by the New York Giants 4435 career yards 22 touchdowns for the Giants and the big upside with him, too Yeah, I know he's a seven-year veteran. Maybe not as young as Isaac Tesla But he can play both the slot and the wideout and he's got the hands and the experience to back it up So a great potential signing could be in the works for the Lions again to create More veterans in that locker room and more experience as they head into that opening day Against the Saints now, we know who's leading the way for the Lions, right? That's Amon Ross st. Brown. There's no question He's the leader in that wide receiver room and with this new offense going into 2026 I'm very confident that he could be one of the leaders again in the NFL so much so that I am going to trade Yes, that he will be the leader this year in touchdown Receptions and I'm going to roll with our brand new partner here on Lions Digest and that's Kelshi when I say that he's going to Be the wide receiver the touchdown leader for wide receivers in the regular season now with Kelshi Remember you're trading directly against other users Not the traditional sports books you buy yes or no contracts on outcomes of sporting events Politics even the weather now if you take a look at Amon Ross St. Brown as we mentioned as the potential leader in touchdowns for wide receivers He's trading at just under 10% What does that mean? That means a huge return if you want to take a plier and buy a yes contract for him to do it if you were to buy a Contract for $25 a yes contract that says he's going to win that title as touchdown King Your return is going to be $235 and change that's a monster return on that yes contract so $25 why do I say that well if you're interested in trying out Kelshi? Use the link in the description and use the promo code Digest NFL and when you trade your first $25 you will get $25 added to your account instantly Football season starts on Wednesday and all the games are trading on Kelshi now there was also breaking news as we get back into the Lions wide receiver room that on Tuesday morning before their first practice of the regular season head coach Dan Campbell Suggested and said that Tom Kennedy could be on the roster heading into that opening day game Against the Saints, so that's something that we were expecting at some point in the regular season but I think the big reason for that is he's still going to be used primarily as a punt returner and Perhaps a kickoff returner so again still a lot of room for a guy like Darius Slayton to be on the roster for the Lions and They don't have to worry about paying him his full salary of 16 million dollars because he was released from it They can sign him for whatever they'd like. So again when I ask you this Let's look at the wide receiver room as well for the Lions now, obviously we mentioned Amon Ross St. Brown Isaac Tesla Jameson Williams and Tay Martin now again Do you think that he could slot in there that being Darius Slayton and his 22 career touchdowns? Would you take him ahead of Tay Martin? Are you willing to roll with what we've got and again? Let's look at the practice squad roster at the moment right now We've got Tom Kennedy Lucky Johnson and Dominic Lovett on the practice squad And as we mentioned it sounds like according to Dan Campbell the cat may already be out of the bag Tom Kennedy could be on the roster heading into that opening day game against the Saints But if they were to sign Slayton that might change his mind and he might get bumped back down to the practice squad So I guess my question to you off the top would you sign Darius Slayton to the Detroit Lions wide receiver room It's that simple. Yes or no, or do you think the wide receiver room needs somebody more than him? I'm not sure if anybody else really is available for the Lions to go after and I just think But what they could sign him for I think he'd be a great addition to that Lions locker room. He brings experience He's got the pedigree that comes with them I know he's not a number one wide receiver, but the Lions don't need a number one wide receiver What they need is a solid number three because I'm not you know, I don't know how much I trust Tesla He made a couple of big-game catches last year, but he didn't have so great of a preseason So that really worries me when it comes to the Lions All right, real quick a couple of signings here by the Lions also yesterday the Lions signed Joe Bocci to the 53-man roster He's going to help in the depth for the linebacker core for the Lions and he's also he's a huge special teams player So I see him making a lot of contributions on special teams so the Lions still have one opening on that 53-man roster and it could be or a guy like Darius Slayton unless they use that last option or Tom Kennedy now the Lions also signed yesterday Seth McLaughlin and Jabari small to the practice squad juice grub right now We know he's really the only center that the Lions have on the roster So McLaughlin not surprised that he was signed back to the practice squad And of course Jabari small the rookie out of Tennessee The Lions only have three healthy running backs on the roster right now. They've got of course Jameer Gibbs They've got Sean Bocci and Jacob Saylor, so not surprised that small got signed, but that just leaves one question Is it possible that perhaps that they might still be thinking about signing Kareem hunt to a contract? Those are questions that we'll have to dive into on another time So again, I'm gonna ask you when it comes again to the wide receiver room Do you think the Lions should go after Darius Slayton to help fortify that Lions wide receiver? Yes or no Let's roll with what we've got or they need to try somebody a little better than him We'd love to see your comments in the comment section here on Lions Digest All right, that's gonna do it for this edition of Lions Digest a reminder that we will again will be live This coming Thursday night with our first live show our first preview show a season preview show here on Lions Digest 7 o'clock Thursday September the 10th.
