Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported McCreary agreed to a one-year deal with Detroit, while the Detroit Free Press cited a person saying the agreement was not yet signed.
- McCreary, 26, was a 2022 second-round pick by the Titans with 61 career games and 38 starts, transitioning from outside corner to a primary slot role.
- He was traded to the Rams before the 2025 deadline and logged limited defensive work in Los Angeles, reported as roughly 38 snaps.
- The addition creates competition for the nickel job after Amik Robertson left for Washington on a two-year, $16 million deal, with Christian Izien and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. also contenders.
- Detroit’s secondary is managing uncertainty with Terrion Arnold, Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch returning from season-ending injuries, with Arnold also the subject of a police investigation in Florida.
