Report: Detroit Lions signing former 1st-round OT Germain Ifedi

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Detroit Lions are adding veteran offensive lineman Germain Ifedi.

Ifedi—a former first-round pick who will turn 29 years old over the summer—has been in the NFL for seven seasons, starting a total of 83 games over that span with stints in Seattle, Chicago, and most recently, as a reserve for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022, where he was active every game. The Falcons re-signed Ifedi in April, but after selecting Syracuse offensive tackle Matthew Bergeron in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, they opted to cut Ifedi last week.
