A person familiar with the situation says the Detroit Lions and edge rusher Marcus Davenport agreed on a one-year contract worth up to $4.75 million.

Davenport had surgical repair for this injury which ended his season. He only played in two games all year. It was reported on ESPN that the injury was a triceps tear. No video here as the moment of injury was unknown.

Ahead of next week’s free-agent market opening, the Lions have reportedly re-signed linebackers Derrick Barnes, Anthony Pittman and Ezekiel Turner, along with Davenport.

The league's legal tampering period — in which teams can begin talking with agents of players who are unrestricted free agents — starts Monday at noon, according to CBS Sports.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Lions have released Za'Darius Smith. Smith spent the second half of the 2024 season with the Lions to try and bolster the team's pass rush while they dealt with the absence of Aidan Hutchinson.

After missing 15 games last season, pass rusher Marcus Davenport is reportedly returning to the Detroit Lions on a one-year deal.
