Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano pointed out that Detroit already brought in D.J. Reed to fill a bigger role after losing Carlton Davis, and then added Maddox—another nickel corner. That leaves Robertson in a tight spot, and if the Lions like what Maddox brings more, they might shop Robertson before the draft.
He could even be a bonus piece in a draft-day trade if the Lions decide to move up in the first round to grab a defensive edge player. Guys like Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart are possible targets if they trade up to a spot like No. 15.
In short—Robertson’s time in Detroit could be winding down, especially if the team sees more upside in newer faces.
