Detroit Lions trade for WR Donovan Peoples-Jones from Cleveland Browns

The Detroit Lions made a minor move to upgrade their roster at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones from the Cleveland Browns for a 2025 sixth-round pick.

A sixth-round pick out of Michigan in 2020, Peoples-Jones had eight catches for 97 yards this season.

With less than an hour to go before the 4 p.m. deadline, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he likely is done making deals for the day.

The former Detroit Cass Tech star takes the roster spot left vacant when the Lions released veteran receiver Marvin Jones last week.

The Lions joined a host of NFC title contenders in making roster moves at the deadline, though their deal caused less fanfare some of the other trades that went down Tuesday.

The San Francisco 49ers traded a third-round pick to the Washington Commanders for defensive end Chase Young, and the Minnesota Vikings acquired quarterback Josh Dobbs from the Arizona Cardinals to replace Kirk Cousins, who tore his Achilles tendon on Sunday.
