Allen Park — The Detroit Lions were able to retain offensive coordinator Ben Johnson but will be losing a key piece of the front office this offseason.
A little more than three months before the 2023 NFL Draft, the Lions will be in need of a new college scouting director. Dave Sears, who has served in the role since 2019, is departing to become the assistant general manager for the Arizona Cardinals.
Three sources familiar with the situation confirmed the pending move with The Detroit News.
In Arizona, Sears will reconnect with the team's recently hired general manager Monti Ossenfort.
