The terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. Rudock a sixth-round (191st overall) draft selection in 2016 out of the University of Michigan, appeared in three games last season for the Lions.
Detroit also decided to tender wide receiver TJ Jones, to the tune of $1.7 million. Jones caught 30 passes on the year for 399 yards and one touchdown, his best year by far for the 3-year pro. He had just 15 catches as a pro entering the 2017 season. So Jones, naturally, was excited about his first touchdown.

The Lions are making moves in the offseason, but have yet to sign that big name. Names of running backs DeMarco Murray and Frank Gore have floated around, as have defensive backs like Richard Sherman (who signed basically immediately with the San Francisco 49ers). But none have signed with the Silver-and-Honolulu Blue as of yet.
