Detroit Lions Will Re-Sign C Evan Brown

The Detroit Lions have reportedly come to terms on a new contract extension for center Evan Brown. 

According to NFL Network, the deal is a one-year contract extension for the talented 25-year-old offensive lineman. 

After center Frank Ragnow was lost for the season, Brown filled in admirably and gained the respect of teammates, the coaching staff and the front office. 

Soon after Ragnow went down with injury, Brown played 60 snaps against the Chicago Bears and the offensive line did not miss a beat.

“I thought he played well,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “I thought he was solid. I thought he went in and really didn’t miss a beat. There was really only a couple of plays that I know he wishes he would have back, but I thought he went in and did a good job.”
