There’s one big difference between the Detroit Lions’ trade of Quandre Diggs to the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday and the deal the team made to send Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles last year:
The Lions have plenty of capable replacements in their secondary ready to succeed Diggs, whereas last year’s trade left them razor thin at wide receiver.
“I think those guys in the back end have all been working really hard and developing, and some of those guys have had to really play in the last couple of weeks, and in some of those bigger games that we’ve had so far this year,” Lions coach Matt Patricia said Wednesday.
