Detroit Lions sign cornerback Darrin Walls

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that they have come to terms with former New York Jets cornerback Darrin Walls.

Walls is a former undrafted free agent, having spent a year with the Atlanta Falcons during his rookie season. Since then, he has been a part of the Jets' crowded secondary. He has 16 career starts and three interceptions. Walls got most of his playing time in 2014, when the Jets were dealing with injuries.

But the outlook on Walls' play is not favorable. Our friends at Bleeding Green Nation ranked Walls as the Jets' least-valuable free agent, saying:

In a backup buried on the depth chart, you want one of two things, the ability to play well or potential.
