There is a new addition to the Detroit Lions secondary. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the Lions have agreed to sign free agent safety DeShon Elliott to a one-year contract.
Elliott was earlier noted to be on a visit to Detroit. He was the subject of Lions’ speculation earlier in free agency but had not been very visible in the free agency market.
The 24-year-old played his first three NFL seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Elliott was a sixth-round pick out of Texas in the 2018 NFL draft. He started all 16 games for the Ravens in 2020 and the six in 2021 before a chest and biceps injury ended his season. He also missed his entire rookie season of 2018 and all but six games in 2019 with injuries.
