The Lions added a veteran to their defensive line last week when they signed Ricky Jean Francois and now they’re taking a look at a possible addition to their linebacking corps.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Kelvin Sheppard is visiting with the team on Tuesday.
Sheppard played for the Giants the last two seasons Jim McMahon Jersey , although he spent last summer trying and failing to make the Bears in between his two stints in Jersey. He had 49 tackles in seven games last season and recorded the first two interceptions of his career in Week 17 against Washington.
The Lions signed Sheppard’s Giants teammate Devon Kennard as a free agent this offseason, but he’s on the non-football injury list. They also added Christian Jones and Jonathan Freeny to their linebacker group.
Johnny Manziel’s next stop will be the Canadian Football League.
Manziel, the former Browns draft bust Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , said in a video distributed by Barstool Sports that he is heading to Canada.
“I am formally signing in the CFL,” he said. “I have decided to sign with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. I’ll be up here for it looks like two years. I’ll be getting back to playing ball. That’s what I want to do.”
Manziel also said he will have a formal partnership with Barstool Sports in which he’ll do a regular podcast that documents his time in Canada.
CFL rules require a two-year contract, so Hamilton will have Manziel’s rights in 2018 and 2019 Richard Dent Jersey , and the earliest Manziel could get back to the NFL would be late in the 2019 season, which likely means it would be 2020 at the earliest.
Of course, Manziel’s other option was probably never to play in the NFL again: He wasn’t drawing any NFL interest. If he has two good years in the CFL Chris Thompson Jersey , perhaps he will.
