Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images The Detroit Lions signed former Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox to a one-year contract, agent Jason Chayut confirmed Friday.
Maddox, who turns 29 on March 31, capped his seven-year tenure in Philadelphia with a victory in Super Bowl LIX.
Maddox played in all 17 regular-season games (three starts) in 2024 but was on the field for just 33 percent of the defensive snaps, a career low, while losing time to rookies Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
He recorded four interceptions, three sacks, eight forced fumbles and 270 tackles in 81 games (41 starts) since the Eagles made him a fourth-round pick in 2018.
The Lions announced two deals with cornerbacks on Thursday, re-signing Khalil Dorsey and signing former second-round pick Rock Ya-Sin.
