For years, the Detroit Lions have been trying to find the perfect player to place opposite of three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay. That search continues as last season’s 12-game starter, corner Rashaan Melvin, is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent later this month. But could a more permanent answer finally be found this year?
The search for a competent cornerback has been complicated by the fact Slay’s status on the team is in jeopardy despite the veteran still having a year remaining on his current deal.
