Lions' Alex Anzalone: Re-signs on one-year deal
The Lions re-signed Anzalone to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After posting a career-high 78 tackles (49 solo), to go with one sack, seven pass breakups and one interception, Anzalone has earned another shot to prove himself in Detroit's linebacker corps.

Anzalone will be a free agent if the Lions don't sign him to a new deal before March, and he has had shoulder issues in the past that could impact his market in the offseason, Burke separately reports.
