Allen Park — When Kalif Raymond first signed with the Detroit Lions in 2021, no one could be sure he'd even make the team's roster out of training camp. Two years later, he's an integral piece on offense, special teams and for the team's culture. And on Friday, hours before the Lions' preseason opener, the franchise rewarded the veteran receiver with a new, two-year extension that will keep him in Detroit through the 2025 season.
Terms of the contract weren't immediately available.
Raymond was something of a journeyman when he arrived in Detroit. An undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross in 2016, he had spent time with four teams, including a recent, two-year stint with the Tennessee Titans.
