The NFL has announced that Detroit will host the 2024 draft.

"The draft has become a prominent offseason event across the country, and we are excited to work with the Lions and their partners to bring the 2024 NFL draft to the Motor City," Roger Goodell said in a statement.

"With the help of Visit Detroit, the Detroit Sports Commission, and the City of Detroit the Lions passionate fan base and all visitors will be treated to an incredible three-day experience."

This will mark the first time that Detroit has hosted the draft.

The Detroit Lions have agreed to a one-year deal with D.J. Chark, according to a source.

The deal could be worth up to $12 million.

Chark had 147 catches for 2,042 yards and 15 touchdowns in four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he missed 13 games.

Trey Flowers has been told by the Detroit Lions that he will be released next week.

The NFL's new league year begins on Wednesday.

In a tweet Thursday, Flowers wrote: "Truly grateful for the love and the lessons!!"

Detroit signed Flowers to a $90 million deal over five years with $56 million guaranteed in 2019, but the linebacker has struggled to remain healthy.
