Another former Saints player is joining Dan Campbell in Detroit: NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Lions will sign free agent linebacker Alex Anzalone to a one-year prove-it deal valued at $1.75 million, Anzalone will work with a familiar face in Aaron Glenn, who is Campbell’s defensive coordinator, as well as his new position coach Mark DeLeone.
A third-round pick out of Florida from the Saints’ historically great 2017 NFL draft, Anzalone’s history of shoulder injuries followed him into the pros and limited his availability throughout his tenure in New Orleans.
