Allen Park — The Detroit Lions added some veteran cornerback depth on Monday, agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with former first-round pick Mike Hughes, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
Pro Football Focus is reporting the agreement is worth up to $3.5 million.
Selected No. 30 overall out of the University of Central Florida in 2018, Hughes spent his first three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared in 24 games during his stint with the franchise, including seven starts, but missed extensive time with knee and neck injuries.
During his rookie season in 2018, Hughes tore his ACL, and at the end of the 2019 campaign, he suffered a broken vertebra, which lingered into the next year.
