The Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with third-round rookie safety Kerby Joseph, according to a report from Ian Rapoport. Joseph is the third Lions rookie to have reportedly agreed to terms thus far, with first-round pick Aidan Hutchinson and seventh-round pick Chase Lucas being the other two.
According to Rapoport, Joseph’s deal is for four years and is worth a total of $5.04 million. Another interesting note from the NFL Network reporter is that because Joseph was taken with the Lions’ compensatory pick, he gets the maximum compensation allowable under the new collective bargaining agreement.
