Former Seahawks cornerback DeShawn Shead is visiting the Lions on Tuesday, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). If he leaves without an agreement, he’ll meet with the 49ers on Wednesday. 
Shead’s contract tolled for the 2018 season, but the Seahawks honored a promise to make him an unrestricted free agent in that event. Seattle hopes to retain Shead, but they may not get the opportunity to re-sign him given the outside interest he has and their own numbers crunch.
Shead returned from a broken leg to play in two games last season for the Seahawks, The cornerback, 30 in June, was Seattle’s full-time right cornerback opposite Richard Sherman in 2016. With Sherman and Jeremy Lane already out of the picture, it sounds like Shead could be the next Legion of Boomer to wind up elsewhere.
Great run stopper as a corner
Will the Lion lose out on two Corners to the 49ers? If this happens? I am pretty sure the Lions will lose their sh**!!
Detroit, The Bay, or a dwindling Seattle? What would you do? Bay Area sure is looking nice right now.
Shead wasn’t coming off a broken leg, it was a torn ACL. Also, not sure what numbers crunch there is. They have $26M available AFTER taking the draft capital out of the available $$. In addition they could open another $7M by cutting Avril, $2M on Thorpe, and even $2M if they went young at punter by cutting Ryan.
They could easily resign Shead if they wanted to and he wanted too.
Sorry but Shead is overrated, definitely wasn’t CB1 or 2. Good Nicole corner though. I’d take Justin Coleman over him, more athletic that Shead.
