One of the strong areas of need for the Detroit Lions is at wide receiver. 

Kenny Golladay is likely set to leave via free agency, and Danny Amendola appears headed toward retirement.

Earlier this week, veteran wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, reuniting with his former offensive coordinator in Darrell Bevell. 

Jamal Agnew, who converted to play wide receiver in 2020, also signed with the Jaguars.

Meanwhile, former Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams was signed to a one-year contract by Brad Holmes & Co. to play alongside second-year wideout Quintez Cephus.

According to the NFL Network, Detroit is now set to sign wide receiver Breshad Perriman, the son of former Lions wideout Brett Perriman.

Antwaan Randle El is the team's new wide receivers coach, and Perriman had his best season working with him in Tampa Bay two seasons ago.

In 2020, Perriman appeared in 12 games for the New York Jets, and recorded 30 receptions for 505 yards.
