The Lions' official website considers the No. 2 wideout job Nate Burleson's to lose.
Burleson won't be facing stiff competition. Sixth-rounder Corey Fuller is raw, Ryan Broyles is a slot receiver that's coming off an ACL tear, and Mike Thomas/Brian Robiskie/Kris Durham are all journeymen at best. Burleson averaged 4.5 catches for 40.0 yards per game last season, but will turn 32 in August and is coming off a broken leg. There won't be much upside here.

Nate Burleson (broken leg) says he's "healed up," and "three months ahead of schedule."
"I just got news from my doctors that the bone is good," he said. "I'm running and jumping three months ahead of schedule." Going on 32, Burleson's roster spot should be safe after he restructured his contract in February. Currently No. 2 on the depth chart, he'll be a late-round option in PPR leagues.
Apr 22 - 9:05 AM

NFL.com
Nate Burleson's restructured contract drops his 2013 base salary from $4.5 million to $2 million.
His new cap number is $4.031 million. Burleson would have surely had to take a bigger cut were it not for the sorry state of the Lions' receiver corps. As it is, Ryan Broyles' injury and the firing of Titus Young ensure he'll be a big part of the offense in 2013.

Nate Burleson has agreed to restructure his contract, which will likely keep him with the Lions in 2013.
Details are unknown, but Burleson was scheduled to reel in a $4.5 million base salary in 2013, a year after breaking his leg. Burleson, 31, is one of the leaders for Detroit, so it makes sense to keep him around on a young team looking for direction. He's said he expects to be ready for the offseason program.

Ryan Broyles
Sidelined
MLive.com considers Ryan Broyles a breakout candidate this season.
Broyles is recovering from a torn right ACL, and the Lions' only notable offseason receiver addition was sixth-round pick Corey Fuller. They must feel comfortable with Broyles' progress. In a six-game stretch last season, Broyles caught 21 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Broyles is questionable for Week 1, but once he's back he'll have a ton of potential in the Lions' high-powered attack while working opposite Megatron.
