Detroit Lions have decision to make on CB Jeff Okudah's fifth-year option this spring

After a rocky first two NFL seasons, Jeff Okudah took a step forward with his play this fall. Now, the Detroit Lions must decide if that's enough to warrant committing to Okudah for 2024.

Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Tuesday no decision has been made yet on whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Okudah's rookie contract.

Okudah has one year left on the four-year deal he signed as the No. 3 pick of the 2020 draft, when he became the highest-drafted cornerback in 23 years.

The Lions have until early May to exercise an option that is worth a projected $11.
