The Detroit Lions have apparently signed both their 2020 fifth-round draft picks in the same afternoon. Quintez Cephus agent posted he has signed his rookie contract earlier in the day, and now running back Jason Huntley announced on social media that he has also joined the party.
Like Cephus and D’Andre Swift signing this past weekend, the Detroit Lions have yet to confirm Huntley’s signing, but assuming the paperwork goes through, the Lions currently have seven of their nine drafted rookies under contract. The only remaining picks not signed would be first-round corner Jeff Okudah and seventh-round defensive lineman Jashon Cornell, both out of Ohio State.
Terms of the deal are not immediately available, but according to OverTheCap.com’s 2020 draft pick estimates, as the 172nd pick in the draft, Huntley’s contract would be for 4-years totaling roughly $3.58 million, with a cap hit this season of $682,578 and just under $300,000 in guaranteed money.
