The Detroit Lions have re-signed exclusive-rights free agent cornerback Chris Greenwood. The former fifth-round pick in 2012 worked his way onto the field at the end of the 2013 season and showed a lot of potential and promise. He could be in the mix in training camp for the Lions secondary in the 2014 season.

Greenwood’s deal is for one-year and $570,000.
