The Detroit Lions have signed another former Michigan Panthers star, with the addition of tight end Gunnar Oakes. This is the Lions' second preseason tight end signing as they also added Steven Stilianos, Sam LaPorta's former Iowa teammate, to their roster.
The signing of Oakes is just the latest of former UFL players that the Lions have been adding to their roster before their third preseason game against the Miami Dolphins at Ford Field next Saturday afternoon.
The Lions signed former DC Defenders running back Deon Jackson and offensive lineman Gunner Britton, as well as Birmingham Stallions offensive lineman Keaton Sutherland.
