The Detroit Lions have agreed to send George Johnson to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Lions dropped their grievance after reaching an agreement with the Bucs.

As part of the deal, the two teams will exchange unspecified late-round draft picks.

George Johnson has signed a three-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Johnson had six sacks last season with the Detroit Lions.

The Bucs are desperate for some pass rush help on the outside, while the Lions have to be concerned about a defensive line that has lost Suh and Nick Fairley.
