Cameron Sutton’s lacklustre performance on the pitch in his debut season with the Detroit Lions prompted some supporters to want him gone. He is now gone, but unfortunately due to the circumstances surrounding his arrest, which were made public this week. The team released him the following day.

So it’s unlikely Holmes does nothing to address Sutton’s absence/departure, even if it’s not until the draft. But a rookie would be stepping into a fairly significant role right now, as currently constituted. A veteran addition, in free agency or via a trade, is in play.

Of course one notable potential cornerback trade target is off the board. L’Jarius Sneed is on his way to the Tennessee Titans, and he’s of course getting the big contract that probably took the Lions out of the mix to get him as things went on.

The trade for Carlton Davis from the Buccaneers, as well as the signing of Amik Robertson, have significantly reduced the Lions’ need for a cornerback. However, it reappeared a bit more in the aftermath of the Sutton issue, if only to add another experienced player to the mix before the draft.

As general manager Brad Holmes stated earlier this offseason, “you can never have too many corners.”

Here are three remaining and potentially available cornerbacks that the Lions could trade for to replace Sutton.
