D.J. Wonnum inks one-year deal with Lions

D.J. Wonnum is signing a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions. The contract is worth up to $6 million.

Fantasy Impact

Wonnum has played six seasons in the NFL with the Vikings and Panthers. He has registered at least three sacks in all six seasons, posting a career-high eight in his final year in Minnesota in 2023. Last year in Carolina, Wonnum totaled 42 tackles, four tackles for a loss, three sacks, and three pass breakups. With 30 sacks in 84 career games, Wonnum could open the season as the starter opposite Aidan Hutchinson to make up a formidable duo of edge rushers in Detroit.
