The Detroit Lions have yet to really score themselves a “splash” offseason signing, and there’s a pretty good chance, at this point, they won’t make one. They have made it abundantly clear that they’re more comfortable spending moderate amounts of money on second and third tier guys than a ton of money on the top names in free agency.
But on Friday night, the Lions made a pretty significant move. After a week filled with running back meeting after running back meeting, Detroit finally made their move. The Lions announced that they have signed former Patriots back LeGarrette Blount to a deal reportedly worth up to $4.
