The Lions announced they have officially signed OL Germain Ifedi to a contract. 

In a corresponding move to free up space on the roster, Detroit waived LB Isaac Darkangelo. 

He had just signed with the team as a rookie free agent out of Illinois a couple of weeks ago. 

Ifedi, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year contract worth $8,265,110 and set to make a base salary of $1,577,060 for the 2019 season when Seattle declined his fifth-year option. 

Last year, Ifedi signed a one-year, $1 million deal with Chicago. Ifedi then re-signed a one-year contract worth up to $5 million with the Bears in 2021.

The Falcons signed him to a one-year contract for the 2022 season. Atlanta re-signed him back in March but cut him loose last week. 

In 2022, Ifedi appeared in all 17 games for the Falcons but did not make a start for them.
