According to the NFL transaction wire (and first reported by Dov Kleiman) Sylvester Williams Jersey , the Green Bay Packers have claimed the Lions 2017 fourth-round pick. The Packers had the 12th highest priority on waivers, meaning that at least 11 teams passed on Roberts (including the Lions). Detroit waived Roberts after two ineffective years with the Lions.

Additionally, it appears they are high on Logan Thomas http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-matt-prater-jersey , who converted to the tight end position from quarterback. Thomas spent some time with the Lions back in 2016, but spent the past two years with the Bills, accumulating 19 catches and 144 yards in 24 games.

Roberts still has his work cut out for him to make their roster.
