BREAKING:DETROIT ANNOUNCES CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR ENNIS RAKESTRAW…

Allen Park, MI – The Detroit Lions have made a significant move to solidify their secondary, announcing a contract extension for cornerback Ennis Rakestraw. The deal ensures that Rakestraw will remain a key contributor to the Lions’ defense for years to come.

Rakestraw, a second-year cornerback out of the University of Texas, has quickly become a vital member of the Lions’ secondary. After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Rakestraw saw significant playing time as a rookie, starting 10 games and recording 43 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 6 passes defensed.

The extension is a testament to Rakestraw’s hard work and dedication to the team. “Ennis has been a valuable addition to our secondary, and we’re excited to have him as a part of our team for the long haul,” said Lions General Manager Brad Holmes. “He’s a talented young player who has already shown a lot of growth and potential, and we’re looking forward to seeing him continue to develop and contribute to our team’s success.”

Rakestraw’s extension is also a significant move for the Lions’ defense, which has been a focus area for the team this offseason. With Rakestraw locked up, the Lions can now focus on addressing other areas of need, such as the defensive line and linebacker corps.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to remain a part of the Detroit Lions organization,” Rakestraw said. “I’m grateful for the trust that the coaching staff and front office have placed in me, and I’m excited to continue working with my teammates to build a winning culture here in Detroit.”

The terms of Rakestraw’s extension have not been disclosed, but it’s clear that the Lions are committed to building a strong secondary around him. With Rakestraw locked up, the Lions can now focus on making a deep playoff run in the coming seasons.
