NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Detroit Lions have reached a contractual agreement with their first-round pick cornerback Jeff Okudah.
According to Over The Cap’s 2020 rookie contract estimations chart, Okudah’s 4-year contract (with a team option fifth year in 2024) should total just over $33.5 million, with $22 million guaranteed, and a cap hit of around $6.1 million in 2020.
It’s been a productive week for the Lions as they attempt to get all players on the 90-man roster under contract before training camp opens. In addition to Okudah, they have now signed second-round pick running back D’Andre Swift, fifth-round wide receiver Quintez Cephus, and fifth-round running back/returner Jason Huntley, leaving only seventh-round defensive lineman Jashon Cornell the only rookie not under contract.
Per the lastest NFL schedule — which could change — teams are expected to begin training camp on July 28th, but rookies are commonly asked to come in early and it’s been speculated that they could arrive as early as July 21st.
Okudah is ready to go:
LFG! Let’s make this year special 313. 🦁 https://t.co/dQOpOfskW7
