Geronimo Allison is sticking in the NFC North, as the former Green Bay Packers receiver agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Allison will ink a one-year contract worth $910,000 that includes a $137,000 signing bonus, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
In Green Bay, the 26-year-old Allison flashed the potential to be a starting-caliber slot receiver but never emerged as a consistent presence opposite Davante Adams.
Allison amassed 34 catches, 287 receiving yards, and two touchdowns last season in a part-time role.
The former undrafted free agent will join a deep receiver room in Detroit, where he'll compete for snaps behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones with Danny Amendola, Travis Fulgham, and Marvin Hall.
