Dante Wesley picked up by Lions

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.

    • Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.
    • All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
