Lions DE Willie Young's one-year deal is worth $1.5 million.
That's $500,000 less than the second-round level Young was tendered at as a restricted free agent. It's a sneaky tactic by the Lions, though Young could have forced his way to the open market by calling the Lions' bluff and refusing to sign for less than his tender amount. The deal includes a $300,000 signing bonus. Young will compete for a starting job in camp, and should have the inside track on lining up opposite Jason Jones.

Detroit Free Press
Lions re-signed restricted free agent DE Willie Young to a one-year contract.
Young was tendered at the second-round level ($2.023 million), but has signed for something less than the tender amount. Young didn't draw any interest on the restricted market, while the Lions have since signed DL Jason Jones. Defensive end remains a trouble spot for Detroit. Jones is better suited for the interior on passing downs, and Young has three sacks in 32 career games.
Apr 15 - 11:10 AM

Tim Twentyman on Twitter
Lions extended restricted free agent DE Willie Young a second-round tender.
With Cliff Avril and Lawrence Jackson on the free agent market and Kyle Vanden Bosch run out of MoTown, 27-year-old Young is currently the best defensive end on the Lions' roster. Expect that to change dramatically before Week 1.
Mar 12 - 2:22 PM
Lions DE Willie Young smashed his middle finger so bad in Week 11 that he considered having it amputated.
We typically don't post information like this, but it's an excuse to talk about Young, who was deemed Detroit's "biggest breakout of this year's preseason." Head coach Jim Schwartz gave his third-year player a lot of love, and some thought Young could be the fallback plan to pending free agent Cliff Avril. Young has played in roughly 25-33 percent of the defensive snaps this season and has amassed a whopping seven tackles with zero sacks. The Lions don't have an heir apparent to Avril on the current roster.

Ryan Broyles (ACL surgery) fully expects to be ready for Week 1.
"I’m out there doing full practices right now so in a couple months I feel like I’ll be pretty good," Broyles said after minicamp. Broyles added he's going "full blast in the weight room." It would be a Peterson-esque recovery were Broyles to be ready for the regular season, but there's no reason to doubt him at the moment.

Sidelined
Lions K David Akers (groin surgery) hasn't been doing much kicking at OTAs and is not at 100 percent.
Akers had groin surgery after the Super Bowl and still hasn't recovered. The kicker said pushing himself following double-hernia surgery prior to last season caused him to aggravate the injury, which he cites as the reason for his woeful 2012. He's taking it slowly in an effort to avoid a repeat of last year's debacle.
