Lions Sign Veteran CB D.J. Reed to Replace Carlton Davis

The Detroit Lions have bolstered their secondary by signing veteran cornerback D.J. Reed, according to multiple reports. Reed, previously with the New York Jets, has agreed to terms with the Lions to fill the void left by Carlton Davis, who was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier in the offseason.

Reed, known for his versatility and coverage skills, brings a wealth of experience to Detroit's defense. In his three seasons with the Jets, he recorded 166 tackles, four interceptions, and 33 pass deflections. His arrival is expected to provide stability and leadership to a young Lions secondary looking to improve its performance in the upcoming season.

The Lions' general manager, Brad Holmes, expressed confidence in Reed's ability to make an immediate impact. 'D.J. is a proven player who can play multiple positions in the secondary,' Holmes stated. 'We believe he will be a great addition to our team and help us compete at a high level.'
