Will somebody please monitor and report former Lions performances?

I liked Kenny Golladay a lot, but for some reason I didn't think after having a injury filled season he should be paid top tier money. It just bothered me to think that he'd be a salary regret if he became an injury ridden has been right after signing. Of course, now for the Giants he may be inspired to scale new heights and be all that he can be. Still, I'm skeptical that he won't perhaps play great when he plays, but also again experience the injury bug.

Kevon Kennard was one of my favorite Lions, and I suppose he was a cap casualty when the Lions signed Jaime Collins. I'd like to keep up with Kennard's career and hope to see him doing well in Arizona.

Jared Davis signed on with the Jets and may finally prove to be a star or continue to struggle, but I'm definitely interested in how he does out of the influence sphere of Patricia.

Kyle Van Noy was released from the Dolphins but I believe he is still well regarded around the NFL based on the progress he made in his game after leaving the Lions and going to the Patriots. Wonder what he will do this year?

Matthew Stafford obviously is expected to take the LA Rams to new heights. I'm skeptical that this will really happen, but it would be great to see him succeed after so many years of frustration in Detroit.

Kerryon Johnson experienced two knee injuries that seemed to sidetrack his career. I'll be watching if he excels with the Eagles.

Eric Ebron has had some ups and downs since leaving Detroit. I'm not really sure where he is going to play this year, but I'll be curious to see if he begins to fade or still posts respectable if not outstanding stats this year.

Marvin Jones surprised me in signing with the Jaguars. This is an interesting situation with their new stud QB, and Jones will likely be on center stage as a leading receiver, if not the man, with the Jags.

It's harder to follow statistically, but whether Riley Reiff, Larry Warford, Laken Thomlinson, and Graham Glasgow are regularly mentioned will be on my radar too.

Dashawn Robinson, Damion Harrison, and Ezekiel Ansah are still out there too. Wonder how they will peform this season?

Can't think about defense without wondering how Darius Slay will do this year. Will he post another Pro Bowl year?

It would be nice if this site had like a former players tracking corner/column. It's not to glorify what the Lions might have lost, but simply to track how they might have helped the Lions, or perhaps to verify that a decision was made that was in the best interest of the team.
