Thomas Gordon News: Gets future deal with Detroit

The Lions signed Gordon to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Gordon spent most of the regular season without a team before catching on with the Bears as a member of the practice squad in late December. With a future contract, the undrafted rookie out of Northwestern will be on the Lions' 90-man roster when the offseason officially kicks off Feb. 9, which will allow him to participate in OTAs and minicamp.
