ALLEN PARK -- Tim Patrick had a resurgent year with the Detroit Lions after missing two straight seasons. Now, the Lions and the veteran wide receiver are running it back, with the team re-signing Patrick on Friday.

Tim Patrick finished sixth on the Detroit Lions with 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 2024. He has signed in free agency.

Day four of free agency is over, so let's review who the Lions signed that day, along with their medical concern level from 1 (no concern) to 10 (does the Guardian cap come in full-body size?).

Wide receiver Tim Patrick re-signed with the Lions on Friday, one day after the veteran literally left the writing on his wall.

Patrick, 31, played the role of big wideout in Detroit's offense in 2024 after being plucked from the Denver Broncos scrap heap. He quickly worked his way from the practice squad to the active roster. In 16 games, including nine starts, Patrick caught 33 of the 44 passes thrown his way, netting 394 yards and three touchdowns.

The Detroit Lions have re-signed veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick, the team announced Friday. Patrick, 31, was able to find a role within the Lions' high-powered offense last season, finishing the 2024 season with 33 receptions for 394 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
