Late on Wednesday afternoon, Marvin Jones Jr. broke the news that he was coming home and re-signing with the Detroit Lions on a reported one-year deal, worth $3 million, with another $2 million potentially available via incentives.

Jones is a 10-year veteran who was originally drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012 and after his rookie contract expired, he joined the Lions in 2016. Jones would set career marks in his first two seasons in Detroit, including leading the NFL in yards per reception (18.0 YPR) in 2017. Jones would miss 10 games over the next two seasons, but otherwise, he has been predominantly healthy, as those games were the only time missed over the last seven years.
