Ex-49ers, Patriots DT Ricky Jean Francois Reportedly Signs Contract with Lions

Veteran defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois is on the move again after reportedly agreeing to a deal with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported it's a one-year contract.

Jean Francois has bounced around in his NFL career. He spent two seasons with Washington before signing with the Green Bay Packers in March 2017.

After appearing in six games for the Packers last season, he was released and signed with the New England Patriots. The former LSU star played in six games for the Patriots during the regular season and all three of their playoff games, including Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles.
