Jalen Reeves-Maybin, a special teamer and linebacker subpackage player for the Detroit Lions, has agreed to a two-year deal with the team. The re-signing of Reeves-Maybin is part of the Detroit Lions’ ongoing efforts to keep key players in their roster. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the linebacker/special teamer will be receiving a two-year contract worth $7.5 million. This includes a $5.245 million guarantee and a $2.5 million signing bonus. Reeves-Maybin’s return to the Lions is a significant boost to the team, given his exceptional performance in special teams. In 2023, he led the league in special teams tackles and played a crucial role in punt coverage teams. His contributions also extended to executing fake punt plays, showcasing his versatility and impact on the team. Reeves-Maybin’s outstanding performance on special teams earned him his first Pro Bowl honors and a second-team All-Pro selection. Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp commended Reeves-Maybin for his leadership and his ability to guide and mentor his teammates. In addition to his contributions on special teams, Reeves-Maybin also played a key role in the Lions’ subpackage defense. He excelled in coverage on third downs and earned a strong overall grade from Pro Football Focus. His performance down the stretch of the 2023 season was particularly noteworthy, as he made significant contributions to the defense before sustaining an injury in the NFC Championship game. Despite this, Reeves-Maybin’s impact on the field was evident, as he recorded 20 tackles, two QB hits, 1.0 sacks, and a couple of passes defended. His return to the Lions is a testament to his value to the team. Last year, he signed a one-year, $2.4 million deal, and his new contract reflects the team’s recognition of his contributions. As the Lions continue to make moves in the offseason, Reeves-Maybin’s re-signing is a significant development for the team.
