According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions are re-signing linebacker/special teams ace Jalen Reeves-Maybin to a “1-year $2,378,490 fully guaranteed deal”. Rumors swirled late last week that the Lions were interested in bringing Reeves-Maybin back and now a deal is done on just ahead of free agency.
Reeves-Maybin was drafted in the fourth round of the 2017 draft by the Lions and was expected to compete in their 4-3 scheme, as well as on special teams. As he acclimated to the NFL during his rookie season, he established himself as a core special teams player.
