Today’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: OL Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi

Los Angeles Rams

Waived: C Drake Jackson

Free Agents

Retired: OT Brad Seaton

Despite never seeing time in a regular season NFL game, Seaton stuck around around the league for five years. The Villanova product was a 2017 seventh-round pick by the Titans, and he later had two stints with the Buccaneers and a stint with the Browns. The 28-year-old opted out of the 2020 campaign, and he missed the entire 2021 season with an injury.

Lions Sign 13 UDFAs

May 3rd, 2021 at 6:03pm CST by Ben Levine

Brad Holmes just completed his first draft as Lions GM, and the executive has now completed his first crop of undrafted free agent signings. The Lions agreed to terms with 13 UDFAs today, per the team website:

Jonathan Adams, WR, Arkansas State
D’Angelo Amos, S, Virginia
Tavante Beckett, LB, Marshall
Rakeem Boyd, RB, Arkansas
Jake Hausmann, TE, Ohio State
Drake Jackson, C, Kentucky
Jerry Jacobs, CB, Arkansas
Tommy Kraemer, G, Notre Dame
Javon McKinley, WR, Notre Dame
Dedrick Mills, RB, Nebraska
AJ Parker, CB, Kansas State
Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest
Brock Wright, TE, Notre Dame

McKinley received a lucrative payday to join the Lions, receiving $100K in guaranteed money, including an $85K guaranteed base salary (per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle on Twitter). After dealing with injuries through his first three years of college, McKinley had a breakout campaign in 2020, hauling in 42 receptions for 717 yards and three touchdowns. He’ll be joined in Detroit by two of his college teammates, offensive lineman Tommy Kraemer and tight end Brock Wright.

Jacobs is one of the more intriguing signings. The cornerback put himself on the NFL radar following a 2018 campaign where he compiled 31 tackles, 12 passes defended, and four interceptions. However, he missed the majority of the 2019 season with a torn ACL, and he ultimately sat out the entire 2020 campaign.
