According to Jeff McLane, the Lions are signing CB Avonte Maddox to a one-year deal on Friday.
This marks the first time Maddox will play for a team other than the Eagles in his eight-year NFL career.
Maddox, 28, was a fourth-round pick by the Eagles out of Pittsburgh back in the 2018 NFL Draft. He played out a four-year, $3,085,914 rookie contract with the Eagles, that included a $625,914 signing bonus, $625,914 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $771,479.
Maddox later agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million extension that includes $13.3 million in guaranteed money and will keep him in Philadelphia through 2024.
He was entering the final year of that deal when the Eagles released him but re-signed to a one-year deal last offseason.
In 2024, Maddox appeared in all 17 games for the Eagles and recorded 20 tackles and five pass defenses.
