Adam "Pacman" Jones is still looking for a way back into the NFL and believes that the Lions would be a "great fit" for him. The cornerback told the Tennessean on Wednesday he would be willing to accept a minimum salary, incentive-laden deal. "I would just love to play football, period," Jones said in a telephone interview. "But I think Detroit would be a great fit."

The Lions might still sign free-agent cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. Detroit general manager Martin Mayhew said that the team's decision to draft cornerback Amari Spievey in the third round doesn't have any bearing on whether or not they'll sign Jones. "You know, we're still kind of evaluating everything now," Mayhew said on Sunday. "I wouldn't say he's in play or not. Nothing has really changed from the time we talked at the league meetings. At that time, I said the next step in the process with (Adam Jones) would be to sit down and talk with him. We don't have that scheduled; we haven't planned anything about that. Well see how it goes."

Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh says that he won't holdout for a more lucrative deal. Suh expects to be in training camp on time. "One of the reasons why I chose Roosevelt (Barnes) and Eugene Parker is because they had that understanding that I want to come into camp on time," Suh said. "I'm not a guy that likes to be a part of drama. I don't even like being in the limelight. I definitely don't want to hold out. We have an understanding that we want to be on time and in camp and ready to go."

Deion Sanders is "hoping" that the Lions will sign free-agent cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. Sanders, who works as a mentor to a number of college and professional players, expects Jones to play in the NFL this season. He said general manager Martin Mayhew "understands what Adam can bring to the table," and coach Jim Schwartz is "one of his biggest supporters."

The Lions may be leaning towards taking Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh with the second overall pick. St. Louis is believed to be locked in on Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the No. 1 pick. There have also been rumors that Detroit might be looking to move down from the No. 2 for more selections.

The Eagles have dealt this year's fifth-round pick to the Broncos, which is sending tight end Tony Scheffler to the Lions, who will trade linebacker Ernie Sims to Philly. The Eagles announced the three-way deal in a statement Monday, three days before the NFL draft, according to an Associated Press report.

Lito Sheppard is visiting the Detroit Lions according to a tweet from the NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora. LaCanfora also reports the Vikings, Bears and Raiders could emerge as suitors for Sheppard.

Lions tight end Casey FitzSimmons announced his retirement Wednesday from the NFL due to several concussions. A concussion he suffered in December is still giving him problems. "This has been a very difficult decision," FitzSimmons said in a statement released by his agent. "I feel like 2009 was one of the best seasons of my career, because I was so consistent, and was able to contribute in a variety of ways. If it wasn't for the concussions, I would not be retiring. "It's frustrating because the rest of my body is still capable of playing at a high level in the NFL," he said. "However, given the seriousness of the risk associated with continuing to play, I have to listen to the advice the team has given me."

The Lions are expected to sign defensive end Jared DeVries to a one-year deal on Monday. DeVries has spent his entire 11-year career with Detroit, but was released by the team in late February with an expectation he might be back after testing the free-agent market.

A judge says former Lions receiver Charles Rogers must repay $6.1 million to the team. Rogers was suspended for substance abuse in 2005 and was released by the Lions the next year. Detroit has been trying to recoup two-thirds of his $9.1 million signing bonus. U.S. District Judge Julian Abele Cook said Monday the money must be repaid.
