Just now, the Detroit Lions signed this outstanding pro bowl running back, who is widely regarded as a top pick by all NFL teams.
Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler and the Detroit Lions have reached an agreement on a one-year contract, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday.
The individual revealed their identity to the AP under the condition of anonymity as the arrangement was not made public.
With the acquisition, Detroit filled its final obvious offensive need by replacing Jonah Jackson. Following the team’s decision to bring back Graham Glasgow, a versatile offensive lineman, last week, the veteran guard inked a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Rams.
at his third year as a starter for the Baltimore Ravens, Zeitler, 34, made his debut at the Pro Bowl last season. Out of Wisconsin, Cincinnati selected him with the 27th overall pick.
To address one of the largest holes, defensive tackle DJ Reader was signed by Holmes—whose contract was just extended—to a two-year contract for up to $27.5 million.
After winning their first conference title in over thirty years, the Lions, who are the defending NFC North champions, signed cornerback Amik Robertson and edge rusher Marcus Davenport and earlier acquired cornerback Carlton Davis from Tampa Bay.
Along with cornerbacks Emmanuel Moseley and Khalil Dorsey, and special teams star Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Detroit also re-signed receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones on Monday.
