Lions Add 2, Including a Former 1st Round WR

Detroit Lions have added two new players two their roster, one of them a fomer first round receiver, Bryant Johnson and CB Eric King

Bryant Johnson, 27, a first round selection of the Arizona Cardinals in 2003, signed a 3-year deal worth $9 Million. Johnson was immediately overshadowed by 2nd round pick Anquan Boldin in their rookie year and dropped another spot on the depth chart when the team drafted Larry Fitzgerald in the 1st round in 2004. Last season Johnson played in San Francisco under a one-year contract and will now join his 3rd team in as many years.

King, 26,has signed a two-year contract with the team. Terms of his deal were not disclosed.
He has spent the past three seasons playing in Tennessee under then-defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, the Lions' new head coach. At 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, King, who played his rookie season in Buffalo, was a role player as a backup cornerback and key special-teams contributor with the Titans, though his 2008 season ended in November with a broken forearm. He'll likely see an expanded role with the Lions.
