The Lions have signed CB Bill Bentley.

9 years ago

The Lions waived Bentley back in June after appearing in just 18 games since 2013. He was the 85th overall pick in the 2012 draft by the Lions but after a torn ACL and other lingering injuries, he hasn't reached his full potential. Bentley must have gotten a clean bill of health and will provide depth to Detroit's secondary. Darius Slay and Rashean Mathis will continue as the team's starting corner backs and Quandre Diggs in the slot.
