Lions Sign CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, Waive S D’Angelo Amos

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Lions are signing veteran CB Nickell Robey-Coleman to a contract on Monday following his workout for the team.

The Lions have already confirmed the news and announced the release of S D’Angelo Amos

 

Robey-Coleman, 29, wound up signing on with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of USC back in 2013. He managed to make the 53-man roster during his rookie season and received a two-year extension in 2015.

However, the Bills cut him loose in 2017 and he later signed a one-year contract with the Rams. From there, Robey-Coleman agreed to a three-year contract worth more than $15.75 million in 2018.

Los Angeles declined to pick up Robey-Coleman’s option last year and he eventually signed on with the Eagles. 

In 2020, Robey-Coleman appeared 15 games for the Eagles and recorded 44 tackles, no interceptions, a forced fumble, a recovery and one pass deflection.

We had him included in our Top 100 Available 2021 Free Agents list.
