In need of both nickel and safety depth, the Detroit Lions are killing two birds with one stone, agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with defensive back Izien.
I guess I primarily asked because I hope we still bring back Maddox (or someone with a similar skill set) whereas I’d be fine with this add as an Amik replacement (with more inside / safety versatility than inside / outside versatility).
The marginal acquisitions are huge. Harper, Mohammed, Lopez, Leaf, Bates, Fox, Hatton, Evan Brown, Josh Reynolds, Tim Patrick, Brock Wright, Awosika, Benito Jones, Skip, Maybin, Woods, Craig Reynolds, and Kindle Vildor. There are others. This guys starting experience is similar to Robertson, and he turned out to be pretty good!
Not for nothing, but our pick ups today: Tom Kennedy and Christian Izien. We’re making a statement. Not sure it’s what I’d hoped for.
Bucs beat writers and fans seem to miss him already based on social media posts, always a good sign when you're a rotational player
And he is young
It’s help and we need bodies.
Hope hope hope.
Is this more of an Amik or Maddox replacement? I like the versatility and he was clearly underutilized last year.
Probably somewhere in between, but it's March 12 and there are so many more dominos to fall.

I think Izein can be more of a nickel and Maddox more of a safety and co-exist as depth on the roster.
Amen, let Brad cook in the discount aisle!
Yes sir. Find those gems

I think people forget a team is 53 plus the practice squad, and all the guys you mentioned helped to win games
Love to have some competition for Rake.
