According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions are re-signing defensive back and core special teamer C.J. Moore on a one-year deal worth up to $2.4 million, with $800,000 guaranteed.
Our Jeremy Reisman profiled Moore’s importance to the Lions roster earlier this week, noting that not only was he a four-phase special teams contributor, but he also filled in at safety on defense, proving to be a reliable fourth option that can produce when called upon.
Moore had an underrated 2021 season. Not only did he hold down the all-important Personal Protector (PP) role guarding Jack Fox when he punts, but he also registered his first career interception and executed a successful fake punt, converting on a direct snap in Los Angeles.
