Trinity Benson is back!
As first reported by Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions are signing Benson off the Denver Broncos practice squad. This comes just over a year after the Lions traded for Benson at the start of the 2021 season.
General manager Brad Holmes has drawn criticism for that trade, despite the low compensation—the Lions sent a fifth and seventh-round pick for Benson and the Broncos’ 2023 sixth-round pick.
However, Benson never made much of an impact with Detroit last season. He was only active for eight games, and over that span, he caught just 10 passes for 103 yards.
