Receiver Dennis Northcutt was traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Detroit Lions today. In exchange, the Lions send 24-year-old safety Gerald Alexander to the Jags. It’s no surprise that Dennis was traded because his availability was made known earlier this week.
The Lions get a smart, veteran receiver who actually led the Jags in catches last season with 44 (for 545 yards). Dennis will provide depth at the receiver position and he’ll be a reliable target (who knows his way around opposing defenses) for either Daunte Culpepper or Matthew Stafford.
