The Detroit Lions have agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract with free agent cornerback D.J. Reed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, as they move quickly to replace starting cornerback Carlton Davis III.
Davis and the New England Patriots earlier agreed to a three-year $60 million contract that includes $34.5 million fully guaranteed, sources told Schefter.
This was Reed's second foray into free agency. In 2022, he signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the New York Jets. It seemed like a big contract for a player who had started only one full season (Seattle Seahawks, 2021), but he quickly established himself as one of the Jets' better defensive players.
