Allen Park — It took a week, but the Detroit Lions finally addressed one of their biggest roster needs. On Wednesday, the team announced they signed veteran defensive tackle Sylvester Williams.
It’s possible the Lions might not be done at the position. The team has been negotiating with Ricky Jean-Francois and ESPN reported they have visits lined up with Jonathan Hankins and Alan Branch.
Williams, a former first-round pick, spent his first four seasons with the Denver Broncos before signing a three-year deal with the Tennessee Titans last year. With a new coaching staff coming into Tennessee this offseason, Williams was let go after one season.
