The Facts: The Lions have acquired Peoples-Jones from the Browns, Detroit announced on Tuesday afternoon. Cleveland will receive a 2025 sixth-round pick in the deal. “We’re excited about the kid,” Lions G.M.

Diehards Line:
Peoples-Jones, a 2020 sixth-round pick, had seemed to fall out of favor within Cleveland’s offense. After making 61 catches for 839 yards with three touchdowns last season, he’s recorded just eight catches for 97 yards in 2023. Peoples-Jones, who played his college ball at Michigan, has caught 117 passes for 1,837 yards with eight touchdowns in 50 games with 30 starts.
