No Future In Detroit For D'Andre Swift?
2 years agoThe Athletic's Colton Pouncy isn't sure there's a future between the Detroit Lions and running back D'Andre Swift, whose rookie contract will be up after the 2023 season. Swift has an extensive injury history, and he'll likely demand too much money to return beyond next season. The Lions have a good thing going at the position, but Jamaal Williams will become a free agent next month. It's expected that Williams will return after scoring a league-high 17 rushing touchdowns on 1,066 rushing yards on 262 attempts. Swift, who was drafted early on as an RB1 by fantasy managers last year, disappointed with a career-low 99 carries for 542 yards and five touchdowns, adding 48 receptions for 389 yards and three more TDs in 14 games (eight starts). If Williams returns, Swift will easily fall to RB2 territory.
