Lions sign Brock Marion

Right after I found out the Tigers signed Urbina, I found out that the Lions made a big signing today also. They signed free agent safety Brock Marion to a 4 year deal. This is a huge signing for the Lions. The Lions' secondary has been weak for a LONG time. Marion is a 3 time probowler and 2 time Super Bowl winner. He is an eleven year verteran. In his career, Marion has posted 100-or-more tackles in eight seasons. He has intercepted 28 career passes including five in each season from 2000 to 2002. Marion has also been a good kick returner, he was third on Miami's all-time kickoff return average (23.5) behind Mercury Morris and Fulton Walker. The Lions were looking to maybe pick up a safety in the upcoming draft but now,with this signing,they probably won't. This has been one of the best offseasons for the Lions in their history. They have spent the money and have gotten Damien Woody, Tai Streets, F.Bryant, and now Brock Marion. If the Lions don't sign anymore players hopefully they can fill the rest of their holes in the upcoming draft.
