Why it Matters for the Detroit Lions

Heading into the offseason, the Lions were likely banking on Sutton being a starter again in 2024, but that will not be the case now that he has been released. With Sutton out of the picture, we expect the Lions to sign another free-agent cornerback and/or select a starting-caliber cornerback in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.

  3. Impact on the Lions: Sutton’s release leaves a gap in the Lions’ defense, as he was expected to be a starter in 2024. The team will likely need to explore free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft to find a suitable replacement at the cornerback position.

This move not only addresses the immediate concern of maintaining the team’s integrity but also signifies a potential shift in the defensive lineup as the Lions prepare for the 2024 season, highlighting the importance of adaptability and ethical considerations in team management.
