The Detroit Lions have signed free agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch to a four-year contract worth $26 million.
It had been speculated for some time that Vanden Bosch would end up with the Lions to reunite with head coach Jim Schwartz.
Schwartz was the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans during Vanden Bosch’s best seasons.
The defensive end struggled in his new role with the Titans last year, but is looking forward to bouncing back in 2010.
The Lions need some serious help on the defensive side of the ball, and he should certainly help.

The Detroit Lions have signed free agent wide receiver Nate Burleson to a five-year deal worth $25 million.
Detroit is working hard to create plenty of weapons around young quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The team already has a No. 1 wideout in Calvin Johnson, and Bryant Johnson has been very good in a complimentary role.
They also drafted tight end Brandon Pettigrew last year and expect him to become a big target next season.
Still, Burleson’s inconsistency and long injury history has to be a major red flag for such a long-term deal.
