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.
