The Lions have more nose tackle depth now."The post-draft roster building has begun for the Detroit Lions. On Thursday morning Womens DeShawn Shead Jersey , the team announced they have signed free agent defensive tackle Darius Kilgo. Kilgo was a 2015 sixth-round pick for the Denver Broncos. In two years with Denver, Kilgo made 18 game appearances and tallied 11 tackles. From there, he did the rounds of Bill Belichick-influenced defenses, as both the Patriots and Titans looked to Kilgo as potential nose tackle depth. He didn’t play a down for New England, spending most of his time on the practice squad. Last year Christian Jones Jersey , however, he made 11 game appearances for the Titans, logging 131 defensive snaps, but only five tackles and a PFF grade of 63.2.At 6-foot-3, 320 pounds Womens Michael Roberts Jersey , Kilgo’s role for the Lions is clear. He is depth behind Damon Harrison Sr. He should compete with the likes of seventh-round pick PJ Johnson and John Atkins for a spot on the roster.The Lions also announced a pair of corresponding releases. Running back Kerwynn Williams has been cut and offensive tackle Jarron Jones was waived. A week ago, the Detroit Lions signed five players to futures contracts, and third-string quarterback Jake Rudock was curiously not on the list, meaning he was immediately a free agent. The very next day the Lions signed former Spartan quarterback Connor Cook to a futures deal, signaling the definitive end of Rudock’s time with the Lions.At the time Da'Shawn Hand Jersey , it wasn’t clear whether the Lions had decided to move on from Rudock or vice versa. However, a report from Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press suggests it was the quarterback’s decision to move on.“The Lions opted to sign Cook to a futures deal after Rudock declined an offer to return,” Birkett wrote on Tuesday. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise. In the three years since the Lions drafted him in the sixth round, Rudock barely spent any time on the team’s active roster. For the entirety of the 2018 season, Rudock was stashed on the practice squad. The team decided that veteran quarter Matt Cassel—who had started just two games since 2016—was a more trustable backup quarterback.So it appears Rudock is seeking an opportunity to compete as a backup elsewhere. At the moment Sylvester Williams Jersey White , he remains unsigned.As for the Lions, Cook will take his spot as the developmental quarterback. With Cassel’s contract expiring at the start of the league new year, Cook could potentially compete for the backup job, however, it’s likely the Lions will add at least one more quarterback Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , even if they decide to re-sign Cassel.
