The Detroit Lions have re-signed defensive end Marcus Davenport to a one-year deal worth $4.75 million. This move comes as a surprise to many, as Davenport’s 2024 season was widely considered a disappointment.
Davenport, who was signed by the Lions last offseason, played in only two games due to injury. He recorded just half a sack and six pressures in those limited appearances.
Despite his underwhelming performance, the Lions have opted to bring Davenport back for another season. The decision has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts, who had expected the team to move on from the injury-prone defensive end.
It remains to be seen whether Davenport can bounce back from his disappointing 2024 season and justify the Lions’ decision to re-sign him.
