Lions Re-sign DB Avonte Maddox

0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The Detroit Lions just locked in defensive back of Vante Maddox for the 2026 season. They announced the resigning on Monday afternoon, but kept the contract details under wraps for now. Maddox joined the Lions last March on a one-year deal and made an impact right away. He played in 14 games, started three, and racked up 32 tackles along with one interception and one forced fumble. Before Detroit, Maddox spent seven solid years with the Philadelphia Eagles after they drafted him in the fourth round back in 2018. There, he piled up 270 tackles, three sacks, four picks, eight forced fumbles, and one recovery. No word yet on the length or money involved, but this move shores up their secondary depth, heading into next year. Expect Maddox to bring that veteran fire and keep turning games in the Lions favor as they build on their momentum.
