After a slow first few days of free agency, things are perking up in Allen Park. According to reports, including one from Mike Garafolo, the Detroit Lions have reached an agreement to sign free agent linebacker Chris Board.
Board has spent all four years of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old was originally an undrafted free agent from North Dakota State.
Board spent most of his first two seasons playing special teams. His defensive reps increased over 2020 and 2021, where he was on the field for 33 percent of the Ravens’ snaps. He notched a career-high 41 tackles in 16 games for Baltimore last year.
