Wait...should I have said "Spivey comes to terms with the Lions?" Nah, I'd bet my lede is correct.
OK, enough with headline semantics.
The Detroit Lions have confirmed that third-round draft pick (No. 66 overall) Amari Spievey has agreed to a 3-year contract, according to a source within the organization.
There's no word as to the dollars involved or if Tom Lewand was intoxicated during negotiations.
The Lions have inked a player who is likely to be starting at cornerback before the end of the season. Then again, after looking at the depth chart, it's possible Spivey will be named a starter before the end of training camp.
Spivey is the third draft pick to sign a contract in the last week. Last Friday, 4th round pick Jason Fox agreed to terms. 7th round selection Willie Young signed on the line that is dotted this past Monday.
Remember, it's pronounced "Spev-ay", not "Spy-vee."
