The 2021 regular ended less than 24 hours ago but the Detroit Lions are wasting no time diving into the offseason. On Monday, they announced that they signed nine players, all of whom were most recently on the Lions practice squad, to reserve/futures contracts.
Here’s a list of the nine players who were given contracts:
- QB Steven Montez
- WR Javon McKinley
- TE Shane Zylstra
- OT Dan Skipper
- DL Bruce Hector
- DL Eric Banks
- LB Tavante Beckett
- CB Parnell Motley
- CB Saivion Smith
A reserve/futures contract varies slightly from a traditional contract in a few key ways.
