Lions Sign DT Roy Lopez to One-Year, $4.65 Million Deal

News summary

The Detroit Lions have signed defensive tackle Roy Lopez to a one-year contract worth $4.65 million as they bolster their defensive line ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Lopez, who previously played for the Arizona Cardinals, started 16 games last season, recording 28 tackles and one sack. The addition of Lopez comes as the Lions look to enhance their defense following injuries to key players, including Alim McNeill, who is recovering from a torn ACL. With a successful 2024 season behind them, the Lions aim to build on their performance and address their roster needs amid ongoing free agency activities. General manager Brad Holmes has indicated the importance of strengthening the defense while managing the offensive core. This signing follows the re-signing of several players, including cornerback D.J. Reed, as the Lions prepare for the upcoming season.
