Breaking: Lions agree to a $168.4 million CB deal after Emmanuel Moseley resigns.

Despite playing just two snaps in 2023, the defensive back for the Detroit Lions is running it back.

Veteran cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is making a one-year return to Motown, according to ESPN.

Over the last couple of seasons, Moseley has had to contend with two serious injuries. He has 162 tackles and four interceptions in six NFL seasons.

Moseley had to rehab an ACL tear in his other knee during the 2023 season after rupturing his ACL in 2022.

The soon-to-be 28-year-old was anticipated to contend for the position of cornerback opposite Cam Sutton in the previous campaign.

The defensive backs group fell short of Aaron Glenn’s defense standards due to injury.

Deshea Townsend was added to the team to assist in enhancing the defensive backs’ performance.

The coaching staff has added new players to the defensive line, therefore Dre Bly and Brian Duker are no longer with the team.

According to the Detroit Free Press, Townsend stated, “When I walk into the room, I tell the young guys it’s your job to take the starters’ job, and the starters, it’s your job to hold them off.” “Coaching works in the same manner. You have to show yourself every day and make sure you’re giving it your all at every chance. I wouldn’t expect anything less from them than I would from myself.”

“When I get in the room, I tell the young guys it’s your job to take the starters’ job, and the starters, it’s your job to hold them off,” Townsend said, via the Detroit Free Press. “And that’s the same way in coaching. You got to make sure you’re doing your best at every opportunity, you have to prove yourself daily and I wouldn’t expect anything different from myself that I expect from them.”
