The move comes two days after the Lions used the No. 12 overall pick on former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

After the Lions made the surprising decision to draft Gibbs, questions began swirling about Swift's future in the Motor City. On Thursday night, general manager Brad Holmes was asked about where Swift stood with the team going forward.

"I mean, D’Andre, he’s still on our roster, he’s still part of our team, he’s still under contract with us," Holmes said. "He’s a dynamic football player, so it hadn’t really changed the math there, yet. But it is early, but it didn’t really change."

Swift is a Philadelphia native and attended St. Joseph's Prep, about 10 miles from the Eagles' home stadium.
