Allen Park — Not only are the Detroit Lions set to bring back the entirety of the team's starting offensive line, but they've also managed to keep a top backup in the fold. Days ahead of the start of free agency, the Lions have reached an agreement on a one-year deal with Evan Brown, a source familiar with the negotiations confirmed with The Detroit News.
Additional terms on the agreement were not immediately available.
Brown had been a restricted free agent but would have become unrestricted, free to sign with any team, had the Lions not extended a tender this week.
