Detroit Lions Re-Sign Marcus Davenport on One-Year, $4.75M Deal

The oft-injured defensive end returns to Detroit after playing just two games in the 2024 season due to injuries.

Marcus Davenport has agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $4.75 million with the Detroit Lions, according to multiple reports.
The 28-year-old defensive end played only two games in 2024 after suffering a groin injury in Week 2 and a season-ending torn triceps in Week 3.
Davenport, a former first-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2018, has battled injuries throughout his career, appearing in just 69 games over seven seasons.
The Lions are hoping Davenport can stay healthy and contribute alongside star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson under new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard.
Detroit aims to build on its strong 2024 season, which included a franchise-best 15-2 record and a top-seven scoring defense, despite falling short in the divisional round of the playoffs.
