The Detroit Lions are keeping one of Bob Quinn's draft picks for another season, and bidding another good-bye.
The Lions agreed Monday to a one-year deal with linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, his agent Brian McLaughlin said. The fully-guaranteed deal is worth $2.378 million, but counts just $990,000 toward the salary cap under the veteran salary benefit expansion added to the new collective bargaining agreement.

Reeves-Maybin, a fourth-round pick in 2017, had been one of the Lions' best special teams players since his arrival in Detroit and might finally have a role at linebacker in a new defensive scheme.
