Detroit Lions agree to terms with LB Paul Worrilow.
Freep

The Lions agreed to terms with LB Paul Worrilow on a one-year deal. Worrilow was with Atlanta last year, where he had 386 career tackles with four sacks and two interceptions.
He should compete for a starting linebacker spot in Detroit, which needs to add speed and depth in free agency.
Worrilow, 26, should compete for a starting job on a defense that returns both DeAndre Levy and Tahir Whitehead at linebacker.

The Lions also return Antwione Williams at linebacker after a promising rookie season, and special-teams standout Thurston Armbrister.
Josh Bynes, who played well after returning to the team at midseason following an August knee injury, and Jon Bostic will be unrestricted free agents at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Worrilow could legitimately contend for a starting role in 2017 considering the questions surrounding the Lions current set of linebackers.
DeAndre Levy has battled injuries and Tahir Whitehead struggled in a full time starting role in 2016.
Antwione Williams, Steve Longa, Thurston Armbrister and Brandon Chubb will be fighting for a roster spot, but at this point in their respective careers, Worrilow has a leg up on all of them considering he has 44 starts under his belt.
