Lions Sign Cornerback Amik Robertson in Defensive Boost

The two-year deal worth up to $10.75 million aims to strengthen the Lions' secondary, following a successful season.

The Detroit Lions have signed cornerback Amik Robertson to a two-year, $9.25 million contract, with potential incentives increasing the total value to $10.75 million.
Robertson, who played for the Las Vegas Raiders, has shown consistent improvement, playing all 17 games in the last two seasons with 19 starts.
The Lions have also acquired cornerback Carlton Davis and edge rusher Marcus Davenport, significantly bolstering their defense.
Robertson's addition addresses the Lions' need to strengthen their secondary, which was a weak point in their otherwise successful last season.
The Raiders, having lost Robertson, now face a significant need at the cornerback position, with potential options including drafting a cornerback early or signing a veteran.
