Detroit Lions sign veteran defensive tackle Jordan Hill

The Detroit Lions added another rotational piece to their defensive line today, signing free agent tackle Jordan Hill.

Hill, a third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2013, split his time between Washington and the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, appearing in four games.

He has 50 career tackles, had 5.5 sacks with the Seahawks in 2014, and could help the Lions as an interior pass rusher.

The Lions have signed three defensive linemen since free agency started March 9: Hill and Akeem Spence at defensive tackle, and Cornelius Washington at defensive end.
