John Cominsky, one of the best waiver claims in Lions history, agrees to 2-year deal

Ten months after he was placed on waivers and facing an uncertain NFL future, John Cominsky has landed a life-changing deal.

Cominsky and the Detroit Lions agreed on a new two-year contract Tuesday. NFL Network reported the deal was worth $8.5 million, with another $1 million in incentives.

A waiver claim from the Atlanta Falcons last May, Cominsky was one of the Lions' most pleasant surprises in 2022. He started eight games, set career highs in sacks (four), tackles (30) and quarterback hits (12) and was a key part of the Lions defensive line.
