Dante Wesley picked up by Lions

Recommended Posts

The Detroit Lions have added some depth on defense and special teams by bringing in a veteran cornerback.

Tim Twentyman of the Detroit News reports that the Lions have agreed on a two-year deal with free agent cornerback Dante Wesley. He'll sign his contract and report to the offseason workout program on Monday.

The 30-year-old Wesley has been in the NFL for eight seasons, including seven with the Panthers. In Carolina he played for assistant coach Danny Crossman, who is now the Lions' special teams coordinator.

Best of luck to him.

good for him...i suppose. it's still the lions but at least he'll have a job. wouldn't exactly say his time with the panthers has been top notch but last year he did well on STs and on defense.

that said, i'm happy with the way STs is shaping up. looks like we improved there so i'm not too bothered by his moving on and our lack of interest in pursuing him.

Probably only Panther going to a team that will be worse than the Panthers in 2010-2011

Dude has 1000 some odd posts!! Have they ALL been this retarded?

It's cool Wesley followed Crossman to Detroit and wish them luck making the Lions ST's look like they belong in the NFL. I am a Lions fan from way back before the Panther's came into being so i will enjoy watching Dante smacking folks in the mouth in the NFC North.

Peppers went to Bears who will do worse...

Jake to Browns who will do worse....

Wesley to Lions who will do worse...

Diggs to the Rams who will do worse...

Hoover to _____ who will do worse...

Lewis to patriots who might be better but more close to equal.

Lloyd is really the only member who went to a better (but much older) team that is in win mode. (Vikings), but he is only a kicker who knows he might be used for FGs there.

    • This was entertaining af lol. The Good thing is he’ll be making a bunch more crash out videos before the season ends.
    • I haven't seen much indication of a connection yet. He isn't lacking for targets. as he is the 2nd most targeted receiver on the team so far. He does have the 3rd highest QB Rating on targets, though. Behind only Chuba and Evans.
    • Shutting out the Falcons is still a uniter for the fanbase for the most part. It's just not in the way it used to be or what it once was for  multiple reasons. People who feel like they aren't seeing enough rejoice over it are missing the point. Instances like this would carry more weight if they were more frequent against our rivals for one. For two. This place also as has been noted before has taken on an echo chamber effect the last several years where all the losing has given way to factions of fans either fully apathetic or fully doubling and tripling down in defense of the powers that be and moves and decisions that have been made. And as a result from that the huddle has also moved to a distinct complete lack of outside views and chatter that in the past had been a source of change of pace entertainment and also more importantly a uniting force for fans here to rally around each other in opposition to. We used to have a number of Falcons fans visiting here over the years and driving home how much we dislike them. Same with the Saints. We even had some visiting Bucs fans from time to time. That's all long gone. Until we get back to instances like this becoming more commonplace nothing will change.
