While the headlines for the Lions were taken up by the re-signing of Tahir Whitehead and Marvin Jones' arrival in Detroit, the organization kept making moves. Bob Quinn's front office made another depth/special teams move on Thursday when they signed former Cleveland Brown Johnson Bademosi to a two-year deal. Elsewhere, Corey Fuller signed his tendered exclusive rights free agent contract.
Browns have lost another free agent, this time special teams standout Johnson Bademosi, who reached agreement on 2-year deal with Lions.

Johnson Bademosi was an undrafted free agent out of Stanford, signed by the Browns in 2012. He made a name for himself as a special teams player in his rookie year and contributed as a part-time player at cornerback. He continued to make exceptional contributions on the Browns special teams for four seasons.
According to Josh Katzenstein of the Detroit News, Bademosi's contract is worth $4.5 million over two years, with about $1.5 million in potential performance escalators.
At least one Lion is very happy to see Bademosi join the organization: Johnson's former teammate at Stanford, Alex Carter.
Welcome my brotha!! I'm hype right now @j_bademosi24

Corey Fuller was tendered a contract back on March 3 along with the other five Lions ERFAs. He signed the contract on Thursday, making his return to the Lions official. Fuller will probably continue to remain a depth option at wide receiver for the team.
