The Lions have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free agent cornerback Jacob Lacey, according to sources.

Lacey, 24, has started 27 games for the Colts over the last three seasons playing primarily left corner. He had 72 tackles and one interception in 15 games with the Colts last season.

Lacey visited the Lions’ Allen Park training facility last week after he wasn’t offered a restricted free agent tender by the Colts.

He will more than likely compete to fill the starting cornerback spot vacated by Eric Wright, who left after signing with the Buccaneers.

The Lions have also re-signed defensive tackle Andre Fluellen to a one-year deal.

Last season, Fluellen had 11 tackles off the bench for the Lions. He appeared in 13 games and forced one fumble.

He’s been a valuable reserve for the Lions over the years because of his ability to play all four positions along the defensive line.

Fluellen was third-round pick by the Lions in 2008.

Lol. Jeff Sackus is anything BUT a good LT. He is awful. You are such a homer if you actually think he's a top 10 lt.


Lets dump and put a rookie in there.

Lets do it.

How about Jon Fox..!

Noone is saying to put a rookie there. Stop being stupid. We are just saying Backus is bad. You are wrong. He is not even close to being top 10.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that the Lions re-signed Tulloch the same day that they were scheduled to bring in linebacker David Hawthorne for a visit. Anwar Richardson reports that Hawthorne is actually on a plane to Detroit right now. With Tulloch being re-signed, it seems unlikely that Hawthorne's visit will actually happen, so he may be headed right back out of Detroit as soon as he lands.


Thats sucks...

Adam Caplan @caplannfl Former Panthers DE/OLB Everette Brown is expected to visit the Lions over the next 24 hours. Was waived by the Chargers last weekend.

And yes, this is the same Everette Brown who was once hilariously predicted to be the Lions' top pick in 2009 by the Sporting News' Russ Lande.

I'm glad for the Tulloch, and will deal with Backus since we have no choice , but I refuse to think he is the upper echelon of LT's.
