The Detroit Lions’ most significant free agent acquisition this offseason has been cornerback D.J. Reed, who previously played for the New York Jets. Reed, who teamed up with Sauce Gardner in New York, signed a three-year, $48 million contract with the Lions. We now know the jersey number Reed will wear when he dons his Lions uniform for the first time.
According to NFL Jersey Numbers on X, D.J. Reed will wear No. 4 for the Lions, a fact he later confirmed on his Instagram story.
In summary, with Carlton Davis III leaving Detroit in free agency, it was essential for the Lions to sign a reliable cornerback to fill his spot, which they accomplished by bringing in Reed. At 28 years old, Reed will be the Lions’ top cornerback in 2025, with Terrion Arnold playing on the opposite side.
