2021 Detroit Lions free agent profile: Is Tony McRae’s value at gunner enough to get him another shot?

The Detroit Lions cornerback group will be going through some big changes this offseason. Starters Desmond Trufant (reportedly being released) and Justin Coleman (already released) won’t be back, while reserves Darryl Roberts and Tony McRae are unrestricted free agents.

With only Jeff Okudah, Amani Oruwariye, and recently re-signed Mike Ford currently on the roster, the Lions will be looking to add depth at the position. So does that open the door for a player like McRae to return to Detroit?

Let’s discuss.

Expectations heading into 2020

After leaving the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency, McRae followed Brayden Coombs (former Lions special teams coordinator) to Detroit, signing a one-year, $1 million deal.
