Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce admitted it wasn’t easy to see cornerback Amik Robertson leave in free agency this year.
“Sad to see him go, but extremely proud of him,” Pierce said on Monday at the owners meetings in Orlando.
The Detroit Lions signed Robertson to a two-year, $9.25 million this offseason. And with the recent release of Cameron Sutton, there’s a realistic chance he could be in play for a starting role this season.
So what are the Lions getting in Robertson?
“A ball hawk,” Pierce said.
