The Detroit Lions added more depth to their secondary today, signing free agent cornerback Darrin Walls.
Walls, who turns 28 in June, played in 13 games as a backup with the New York Jets last year and is expected to provide insurance for starters Darius Slay and Nevin Lawson as an outside cornerback this fall.
An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame in 2011, Walls spent one season with the Atlanta Falcons and the last four years with the Jets. He made 12 starts in 2014 and had two interceptions.
The Lions return their top three cornerbacks from last year in Slay, Lawson and nickel back Quandre Diggs but had been looking for veteran help for their secondary since Rashean Mathis retired.
