NFL free agency grades 2025: Live analysis of every free agent signing and trade (Lions sign CB D.J. Reed for 3 years, $48M - Grade: A+ — The Lions pay a bargain price for the best corner and defensive player overall on the market to upgrade from Carlton Davis.): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-free-agency-2025-live-grades/dd9dca0cc09cd79d46ce9091
Walter football (Lions sign CB D.J. Reed (3 years, $48 million): A Grade. It’s interesting that Aaron Glenn has gone from the Lions to the Jets, while D.J. Reed is making the opposite move. Reed will be playing for the Lions for the next three years, but won’t have Glenn coaching him. This is a key signing for Detroit. Carlton Davis just left the team, so a replacement at cornerback was sorely needed. Reed is even better than Davis, so Detroit is making an upgrade at a very reasonable price. I love this move.): https://walterfootball.com/freeagentsigninggrades.php
Grading big moves from Day 1 of NFL free agency (Lions signing D.J. Reed: With Carlton Davis leaving town for a bigger payday, Detroit gets a solid consolation prize in Reed, who was sturdy, if un-splashy, for both the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets. It's a classic plug-and-play option on the perimeter. Grade: B-): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-free-agency-day-1-grades-jets-get-a-for-justin-fields-bet-seahawks-earn-b-for-sam-darnold-deal/
2025 NFL Free Agency LIVE Deal Grader: Grading and tracking every transaction (CB D.J. Reed signs with Detroit Lions - 2024 PFF Grade: 70.7. 2024 PFF WAR: 0.36. Contract: 3 years, $48 million ($32 million guaranteed). PFF Projected Contract: 3 years, $42 million ($27.5 million guaranteed). PFF Deal Grade: Good. The Lions lost Carlton Davis to the Patriots and still managed to upgrade at the position while paying significantly less than what Davis received from New England. Reed was PFF’s top available free-agent cornerback and has earned 70.0-plus PFF grades in each of the past six seasons. Reed was also among the 20 best cornerbacks in the NFL in PFF’s lockdown rate metric (51.3%). He’s a model of consistency at one of the most volatile positions in the NFL and is a big-time addition to an already very strong secondary.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2025-nfl-free-agency-live-deal-grader-grading-and-tracking-every-transaction
