The Eagles sign ex-Lions OL Jarrid Williams to a reserve/future contract

Williams finished the season on the Lions practice squad but was not signed by Detroit after the season

Former Lions offensive lineman Jarrid Williams has agreed to a reserve/future contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Detroit signed Williams to the practice squad in December when the New York Giants signed LB Jarrad Davis off the Lions’ practice squad to their active roster. Williams did not appear on the active roster for the Lions. Prior to his stint in Detroit, Williams was on the Eagles’ practice squad as an undrafted rookie.

He was one of several Lions who finished on the practice squad that did not sign a reserve/future contract with Detroit. The team did bring back 10 of those players, including WR Tom Kennedy and DT Demetrius Taylor.
