Quick Glance: Lions Secure TE Brock Wright, Extend Contract with CB
- Five days after the San Francisco 49ers signed the restricted free agent tight end Brock Wright to an offer sheet, the Detroit Lions acted and agreed to the three-year, $12 million contract.
- Originally brought on board as an undrafted free agent, Wright has consistently made valuable contributions during his time in Detroit. His record of catching 43 passes out of 55 targets for 424 yards and seven touchdowns in 41 games showcases his prowess. Predominantly utilized as a blocker, he has averaged 438 offensive snaps per season and made significant contributions on special teams, exceeding 150 plays annually.
- In addition to opting to keep Wright, the Lions also revealed that they have re-signed cornerback Kindle Vildor.
- Vildor joined the team's practice squad early in the 2023 season and earned a promotion midway through, ultimately participating in the team's last five regular-season games, with the final two as a starter. He also took the starting role in all three of the Lions' playoff games and made an impact during the regular season with 10 tackles, two pass defenses, and a forced fumble.
