Quandre Diggs reacts to ex-Lions player’s intriguing recruitment pitch

It is not known who Harrison is referring to in the latter half of his post. Fans believe it refers to former Lions star Darius Slay. Slay is now with the Philadelphia Eagles after a trade in 2020. However, it could also refer to fellow free agent Jamal Adams, who played with Diggs in Seattle until being released alongside Diggs. In any event, who he is referring to is purely speculation at this point.

Quandre Diggs chimes in on Lions pitch

Damon Harrison did receive a response to his pitch on Friday night. Quandre Diggs directly responded to the idea in his own post. Lions fans may not be extremely enthused by the response. The Pro Bowl safety didn’t shoot down the idea, but he remained rather noncommital in the process.

Diggs entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick out of Texas. The former Lions safety eventually became a starter in 2017. His performance that season earned him a three-year, $20 million contract extension. However, he was traded to the Seahawks for a 2020 fifth-round pick a year and a half later.

The Lions could certainly find themselves in the safety market. C.J. Gardner-Johnson returned to the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year contract in NFL Free Agency. Furthermore, the team released Tracy Walker III before the new league year. Detroit has seen Kerby Joseph and Ifeatu Melinfonwu emerge in recent seasons, but could still add depth.

There is a chance Quandre Diggs returns to the Motor City this season. Damon Harrison is certainly on board, and Lions fans likely would be too. This is definitely a situation worth watching as NFL Free Agency continues ahead of the NFL Draft.
