The Detroit Lions will not be adding free agent defensive lineman Arden Key. Although the Lions brought him in for a visit last week, Key ultimately signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday.
The Lions were one of many suitors for Key, who also took visits with the Ravens and Chiefs. However, given Detroit’s frugal approach to free agency, it’s likely they got priced out of the market by the Jaguars—who have not been shy about throwing around money and still had plenty of cap space to maneuver. Specific details of Key’s contract aren’t out yet, though it has been reported as a one-year deal worth “up to $7 million” according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
