The Lions are in the market for a new return man

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions are in the market for a new return man.

Andre Roberts, who was one of three players to house two punts for touchdowns, has signed a one-year deal worth $750,000 with Atlanta, NFL Network reported. He averaged 12.3 yards per punt return overall, which was third in the league, and 22.6 yards per kick return. That was eighth.

He also caught a few timely passes as the fourth receiver on offense, including a pretty touchdown in the comeback win against Los Angeles and a 27-yarder that set up Matt Prater's equalizer as time expired in Minnesota.
