Getty ImagesThe pace of rookie signings has been fast this offseason, and the final push is getting underway this morning.
The Lions reached a contract agreement with first-round pick Riley Reiff, according to Tim Twentyman of the Lions’ official website. He’ll report to camp with the rest of their rookies today.
According to the slotted salary system, Reiff will get a four-year deal worth $7.993 million.
Going into the final days of offseason (for which the Lions should be grateful), there are now just 24 unsigned draft picks, including nine more first rounders.
