Lions sign Megatron's replacement

The wide receiver pool in free agency (and, honestly, in the draft) isn't strong. And it just got weaker with Marvin Jones reportedly going to Detroit.

According to Dianna Russini of ESPN, the Lions landed the former Bengals player, snagging the top wide receiver on Pete Prisco's Free Agency Rankings ahead of the new league year starting at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

NFL Network's Ian Rappoport reports the deal will be worth roughly $8 million per year.

It's good to be the top option, even when the options aren't that great.
