It appears that veteran offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, will be joining the Detroit Lions for the upcoming NFL season.
According to reports, Zeitler has agreed to a one-year contract worth $6 million with the Lions. This move comes after Zeitler underwent a physical on Monday evening, as reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The addition of Zeitler could bolster the Lions’ offensive line and provide valuable experience and talent as they prepare for the upcoming season.
It seems that the Detroit Lions faced a loss in their offensive line with the departure of guard Jonah Jackson to the Los Angeles Rams in free agency.

Jackson secured a significant three-year, $51 million contract with the Rams, leaving the NFC North for a new opportunity under head coach Sean McVay.
In response to this loss, the Lions have moved to fill the gap by signing 34-year-old guard Kevin Zeitler, who had an impressive season with the Baltimore Ravens.
Zeitler’s performance earned him his first Pro Bowl nod, showcasing his value as a seasoned player. He played a key role in the Ravens’ success, helping them secure the top seed in the AFC and reaching the AFC Championship Game, where they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs.
With Zeitler’s experience and skill set, the Lions aim to fortify their offensive line and maintain competitiveness in the upcoming season.
