Lions Paying to Keep Players

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network the Lions will in fact be keeping some of their players from 2008.

The Lions reached an agreement Monday with free-agent-to-be guard Stephen Peterman on a five-year, $15 million contract that included $5.5 million in guaranteed money. Last season was Peterman’s first full year as a designated starter, though he has 29 career starts. He sat out most of his first two seasons with knee injuries.
