Dante Wesley picked up by Lions

[MooreToSmitty]

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.

agree, i always loved wesley. i'll be pulling for the lions a little extra this season.

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.

i'll miss his pretty eyes...

no homo...

I watched the second TB game from last season the other night and he snagged a great ST tackle. I know he's more famous for the fine inducing crunch from the first 2009 TB matchup but I liked his fire.

And his pretty eyes, yes.

What a great motivation tool our coaches now have for practice: "Pick it up kid or you'll find your happy ass in Detroit, St. Louis or Cleveland!"

[CatMan72]

OH NO!

Okay, wait.... I'm over it, bye Dante.

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

[rayzor]

lol...browns and rams will be better? you really need to see a therapist.

btw...we'll do better than the bears as well.

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.

Good luck to him and the Lions. They will need it to make any kind of noise in that division.
