Running back Isiah Pacheco has agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The deal adds a physical presence to the Detroit backfield as the team continues to refine its roster for the upcoming campaign.
The agreement is worth $1.81 million and is fully guaranteed, per Pelissero. In addition to the base value, the contract reportedly includes performance-based upside that could increase the total payout for the veteran runner. The decision to fully guarantee the contract highlights the organization's confidence in Pacheco's ability to contribute immediately to the offensive rotation.
Pacheco, known for his high-energy running style and aggressive approach at the line of scrimmage, brings championship experience to the Lions' locker room. This move provides Detroit with significant depth at the running back position, ensuring they have a proven ball carrier to complement their existing offensive weapons.
The Detroit Lions have not yet officially announced the signing, but the financial terms indicate Pacheco will play a defined role in their ground game this season. Further details regarding the specific incentives and roster implications are expected to emerge as the deal is finalized.
