Free Agent DE Derek Landri Works Out For The Lions

 

The Detroit Lions held a workout for free agent DEย Derek Landri on Tuesday.

โ€œIt was good to get out here and run around, do all that stuff,โ€ said Landri, via the Detroit Free Press. โ€œHavenโ€™t done it in awhile.โ€

The Buccaneers releasedย Landri back in February, but he hasn’t found a lot of interest on the open market.

There is a connection between Detroit andย Landri given that current Lions defensive coordinator, Jim Washburn, coached him while they were both in Philadelphia a few years ago.

Landri, 30, appeared in only 8 games this past season and finished the year with nine total tackles and a singleย sack.

If the Lions were to bring him in, he would likely have to compete with fourth-round pickย Larry Webster and veteran Darryl Tapp for playing time.
