Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch is signing a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal brings the veteran wideout to Detroit as the team continues to bolster its offensive depth for the upcoming season.
The move facilitates a key reunion between Dortch and new Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. Petzing coached the speedy wideout for the past three seasons in Arizona, providing Dortch with immediate familiarity with the offensive system being implemented in Detroit. Known for his agility and playmaking ability in the slot, Dortch has been a consistent contributor during his tenure with the Cardinals.
By securing Dortch on a one-year deal, the Lions add a versatile weapon who has proven capable of producing both as a receiver and on special teams. His experience under Petzing is expected to streamline his integration into a Detroit offense that finished among the league's best last year. The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been made public.
