Detroit Lions Re-Sign Veteran Linebacker Ezekiel Turne
As the 2025 NFL Free Agency period draws near, the Detroit Lions have already made strides in securing important contributors for the upcoming season. On Monday, the team confirmed that linebacker Ezekiel Turner has agreed to a one-year contract extension to remain with the Lions.
Turner’s Impact in 2024
Although Turner didn’t join the active roster until November of 2024, he wasted no time making his presence felt. In his nine games, Turner was a key contributor to the Lions’ special teams, recording 12 tackles. His performances demonstrated his reliability and solidified his role as a valuable depth piece on the roster.
Why This Signing Is Important
Turner’s contributions on special teams were a major asset in 2024, and his re-signing adds crucial depth to that unit for the 2025 season. With the Lions focused on bolstering their roster, Turner’s return helps ensure a more well-rounded and competitive team as they prepare for the new season.
