Shortly after being cut by the Redskins, offensive lineman Jon Jansen joined the Lions. Jansen will sign a one-year deal with Detroit assuming he passes a physical. "After taking care of things Monday, I'm very excited to show I've got more than one year left in my career," Jansen told the The Associated Press. "The Lions were the No. 1 team I wanted to sign with because it brings me back home, and it gives me a chance to be one of the guys to turn things around." Jansen is from Michigan, and will be trying to reverse his home team's recent 0-16 season.
