According to a report from Jeff McLane, the Detroit Lions have signed DB Avonte Maddox to a 1-year contract. Maddox, who is now 28, was originally selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Avonte Maddox: By the Numbers

- Passes Defended: 36
Super Bowl Contributor
As noted by Mike Garafolo of ESPN: Maddox “helped seal the Super Bowl win with a pass defensed on fourth down against the Chiefs late in the third quarter.”
Bottom Line
One would assume that there is not much-guaranteed money included in this contract, which means Maddox will have to ball out during the offseason camps if he wants to be a part of the 53-man roster in 2025. That said, he does have a lot of NFL experience, including 41 starts, so it would not be surprising if he cracks the roster as a depth player.
