Lions LB DeAndre Levy To Sign Tender Offer This Weekend

Found April 10, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: DeAndre Levy
TEAMS: Detroit Lions
DeAndre Levy plans to sign his restricted free agent tender when he returns to Detroit this weekend for the start of the Lions' off-season conditioning program, a person close to the linebacker said today. Levy, one of 10 returning starters on the Lions defense, will take part in the voluntary workouts, which begin Monday. The Lions gave Levy a second-round tender worth $1.92 million before the start of free agency last month. A third-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2009, Levy will be an unrestricted free agent next year. Levy has started 37 of 43 games in his first three seasons and finished second on the team with 109 tackles last year.
