According to Mike Garafolo, the Lions won’t tender a contract to exclusive rights free agent CB Chase Lucas, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Lucas, 26, is a former seventh-round pick by the Lions in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $3,759,280 and includes a $99,280 signing bonus.
He was among Detroit’s final roster cuts last offseason and re-signed to the practice squad. They promoted him from the taxi squad in September.
In 2023, Lucas appeared in 12 games for the Lions and recorded three tackles.
