Super bowl!!!
Wait, so Brad isn’t the smartest guy in the room anymore? He must’ve read the thread and found out he was really dumb for not having all the roster spots filled before camp.
Phew - we’re lucky. Brad is finally figuring it out.

I mean these aren’t putting this team ahead of their class
Well, according to some, having two unsigned roster spots in the 2nd week of June is a big deal.
You mean to tell me Tarik Black and Lucky Jackson aren’t going to make or break the Lions season?

True, but they already signed an UDFA WR awhile ago to take Law’s spot.
Black, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2017 who played three seasons at Michigan and one at Texas, went undrafted in 2021 before making stops with the Indianapolis Colts (2021), New York Jets (2021-22), Baltimore Ravens (2022-23), Pittsburgh Steelers (2024) and Miami Dolphins (2024-25). He caught a 10-yard pass with the Jets in 2021.
Jackson, meanwhile, also began his professional career as an undrafted free agent, though he played with the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2022) and Edmonton Elks (2022) before signing with the Defenders (2023), Minnesota Vikings (2023-25) and Kings (2026). He has three career appearances in the NFL, all coming in 2023. Jackson tallied 1,133 yards and four touchdowns on a Conference USA-best 94 catches as a senior at Western Kentucky in 2019.
Tay Martin, also signed by the Lions, played for the Columbus Aviators in 2026. He attended Washington State (2017-19) and Oklahoma State (2020-21) and has spent time with the San Francisco 49ers (2022-24), Tennessee Titans (2024) and Washington Commanders (2025).
The Lions are permitted to have 91 players on their offseason roster, instead of the typical 90, because of an international player exemption related to defensive end Ahmed Hassanein. The team entered Wednesday with two available roster spots. It created a third opening by placing Law on injured reserve.

Yes and no
I see the last 2/3stops are now. Looking as needing an upgrade
We just finished OTA and evaluating the roster…. And suddenly we add the lower depth WR position for more competition?
And maybe due caution for anticipated injuries as well down the line and before TC
UFL season just ended not long ago.
If it’s who they wanted, they couldn’t sign them before. Hence, the open roster spots folks were complaining about.
I doubt any of them make the roster or even PS anyway.
Also comes the same day Cam Jordan re-upped with the Saints, so maybe one of those spots was one they were optimistically holding in case he would sign.
