Allen Park — The Detroit Lions may or may not have a new running back for the team's backfield rotation. According to multiple reports, the team signed Los Angeles Rams restricted free agent Malcolm Brown to a two-year, $3.25 million offer sheet on Tuesday.
The Rams tendered Brown before the start of free agency giving them five days to match the Lions' offer. Because it was an original-round tender, and Brown went undrafted out of the University of Texas in 2015, the Lions wouldn't be required to forfeit a draft pick if the Rams opt not to match.
