The Detroit Lions could see a lot of change in their secondary in 2021. With the defense now led by a former Pro Bowl cornerback, there will be a very specific vision in mind for Detroit’s defensive backs, and that could mean some tough decisions on the horizon for players from the 2020 squad.
One of those players is cornerback Darryl Roberts. The veteran cornerback is set to become a free agent when the league year starts in mid-March. While his 2020 season wasn’t very successful in Detroit, there is a logical pathway for Roberts to return to the team on another short-term deal.
