Report: Detroit Lions claim wide receiver Jon Baldwin
The Detroit Lions have claimed wide receiver Jon Baldwin, reports Bleacher Report's Michael Schottey. The San Francisco 49erswaived Baldwin on Sunday.
Baldwin is a former first round pick who has struggled to find a permanent home in the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs took him with the No. 26 pick in the 2011 draft, but traded him to San Francisco after just two seasons for fellow former first-rounder A.J. Jenkins.
Last year with the 49ers, Baldwin caught three passes for 28 yards. In his two years with the Chiefs, Baldwin caught 41 passes for 579 yards and two TDs.
