The Detroit Lions have signed veteran wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The move adds a proven veteran presence to the Detroit passing attack as the team continues to refine its roster during the 2026 offseason.
Wilson enters Detroit with a reputation as a reliable depth option and a versatile playmaker. He has previously spent time with the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, and Dallas Cowboys. Throughout his career, the veteran wideout has been recognized for his ability to contribute both as a receiver and on special teams units.
The addition of Wilson provides the Lions with another experienced target for quarterback Jared Goff. He joins a receiving corps headlined by All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Detroit has been active in looking for veteran competition to solidify the bottom of their depth chart ahead of training camp.
Contract terms for the agreement have not yet been disclosed by the organization. The Lions are expected to officially announce the transaction later today once the paperwork is finalized.
