Lions make it official, announce Ray Agnew and John Dorsey hiring to the front office

The Lions are rebuilding with several former NFL players in key positions

Ray Agnew is officially the new assistant general manager of the Detroit Lions. John Dorsey is also now on the payroll as a senior personnel executive.

The moves, first reported over the weekend, were made official on Wednesday by the Lions. It’s the latest part of the radical overhaul of the organization from the top on down.

Agnew comes to the team from the Los Angeles Rams, where he worked with new Lions GM Brad Holmes. Agnew was the Rams’ director of player personnel. Dorsey is a former GM for the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns who most recently served as a front office consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Both are former NFL players, as are new head coach Dan Campbell and his coordinators, Aaron Glenn (defense) and Anthony Lynn (offense).
