Payton Turner Signs with Detroit Lions
Payton Turner, a fifth-year defensive end, signed a one-year, $1.145 million contract with the Detroit Lions, which includes no guaranteed money, making it a low-risk move for the team. The 27-year-old has struggled with injuries throughout his career, playing only 31 of 85 games, and has yet to start an NFL game. Despite his challenges, he showcased some potential in 2024 with 2.0 sacks and a solid pass rush grade. This signing allows the Lions to take a chance on a player with athleticism and one season of decent production.
