The Detroit Lions are agreed to a 3-season, 48 million dollar deal with free agent CB D.J. Reed as the franchise wants swiftly to replace starting CB Carlton Davis III.
Carlton and the Patriots sooner agreed to a 3-year, 60 million dollar deal that features almost 35 million dollars fully guaranteed.
This was Reed’s 2nd foray into free agency. Three years ago, he inked a 3-year, 33 million dollars with the Jets. It seemed like a huge deal for a footballer who had started 1 full campaign with the Seahawks 4 years ago, but he was among the best defensive footballers in the New York team.
Reed has only 6 picks in 7 campaigns and has 21 accepted penalties over the past 3 years.
D.J. began his career in the league as a 5th-round selection of the 49ers seven years ago. Seattle picked him up on waivers 5 years ago – under ex-manager Pete Carroll – as Reed started to reinvent himself. The cornerback has appeared in 101 matches – 70 of them from the 1st minute on the field.
