The Lions signed Cunningham to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Cunningham spent the majority of the 2025 campaign on the Lions' practice squad, playing one offensive snap in his only appearance Week 14 against the Cowboys, logging one carry for one yard. The 27-year-old has transitioned to wide receiver after entering the NFL as a quarterback in 2023, but he has yet to be given much of an opportunity to prove himself at the new position.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots reportedly signed Cunningham to a deal with $200,000 guaranteed, the most the team has ever spent on an undrafted player. During his college career at Louisville, Cunningham (who New England lists at 6-0, 188 pounds) played quarterback, but with Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe and Trace McSorley already in the team's signal-caller mix, the rookie's versatility could be his ticket to securing a roster spot this coming season. With that in mind, Cunningham saw reps at wideout during the team's OTAs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Position change going well
WRBaltimore Ravens
June 21, 2024
Cunningham, who's exclusively focusing on playing wide receiver going into the coming season, impressed with his acclimation to the position this offseason, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cunningham was signed off the Patriots' practice squad by the Ravens back in December and began taking practice reps at wide receiver in addition to quarterback when he arrived in Baltimore. Cunningham played four snaps and ran two routes without a target in Week 18 against the Steelers as well, and he was asked by coaches earlier this offseason to fully concentrate on playing receiver for the foreseeable future. Cunningham's athleticism has emerged over time, with head coach John Harbaugh praising his speed, quickness and ability to understand the receiver position from a quarterback's perspective during OTAs and minicamp.
