Johnthan Banks

Banks hasn't been nearly effective in recent years as he was his first two years in the league thus the reason he's bounced around in 2016. Banks played two games for the Lions this season and made two tackles. This is simply a low risk, high reward depth signing.

Banks was acquired by Detroit about a month ago from Tampa. Banks is only 27 years old so it's possible he gets picked up by another team. He was waived along with Justin Forsett so the Lions could make room for T.J. Jones and Armonty Bryant.

Since being drafted in 2013 in the second round, Banks has been a disappointment. Perhaps a change of scenery will be good for Banks. The Lions are banged up in the secondary and need the depth at the position.

The former second-round pick hasn't made nearly the same impact the past two seasons -- including this one -- as he did in his rookie and sophomore seasons. Banks hasn't even appeared in a game for the Bucs this year and was a healthy scratch this past week against the Raiders.
