The Detroit Lions and pass-rusher Romeo Okwara agreed to a three-year deal worth $39 million on Monday, according to a source. The Lions wanted to keep Okwara around after he had a career-high 10 sacks in 2020. He added a career-high 44 combined tackles (11 for loss), 18 QB hits, one pass defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 games (nine starts) for the Lions last season. Okwara was an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame and spent the first two years of his career with the New York Giants. In his three seasons with Detroit, the 25-year-old has 74 solo tackles (20 for loss), 42 QB hits, five forced fumbles and 19 sacks in 45 games (24 starts). The Lions will hope to build around Okwara on the defensive side of the ball in the coming years.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
