Due to the fact that the trade was conditional on Mims making the Lions’ 53-man lineup, Detroit will return its 2025 sixth-round choice and a 2025 seventh-round choice will go back to New york city.
The relocation maximized area for the Lions to include another receiver for depth, and they signed previous Los Angeles Chargers wideout Jason Moore in a matching relocation.
