Cut by the Broncos on Friday, cornerback Drayton Florence may not be out of a job for long.

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports that Florence could soon be signing a deal with the Lions. Florence, per Birkett, is expected in town for a physical.

Lions special-teamer Kassim Osgood let the cat out of the bag on Saturday, tweeting a welcome message to Florence.

The starters Chris Houston and Bill Bentley; both were injured for the preseason finale. The reserves (for now) are Jacob Lacey, Kevin Barnes, and Jonte Green.

If Florence is signed, a current member of the 53-man roster would have to be released.
