Reports: Lions agree to deal with CB Desmond Trufant

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions were busy on the third day of free agency, agreeing to terms with a new defensive tackle and trading for safety early in the day.

But the team saved its biggest move for the evening, agreeing to a two-year deal for cornerback Desmond Trufant, according to multiple reports.

According to ESPN, the deal is worth $21 million, with $14 million guaranteed. Texts to Trufant's agent seeking confirmation were not immediately returned.

A former first-round pick and Pro Bowler (2015), Trufant has spent his entire seven-year career with the Atlanta Falcons.
