The first agreement has happened out in Detroit. The Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a one-year deal $6.5 million deal (max value of $10.5 million) with defensive end Marcus Davenport. Davenport is a former first-round pick from the New Orleans Saints who is coming off a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. This will be Davenport’s third team in his short NFL career so far, and it seems to be a prove-it type of deal from Lions general manager Brad Holmes.
Coming out of college in 2018, Davenport was looked at as one of the top edge rushing options, and some Lions fans were hoping Detroit would land him.
