Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes visited the Lions this week, according to The Detroit Free Press.
Spikes, who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles in March, is a free agent.
"Takeo did a really good job for us last year," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "But we are excited about the young linebackers that have developed over the last year. We wish Takeo all the best. He's a true team player on and off the field."
