Lions sign WR Ronnie Bell to future contract

The Lions added a wide receiver to their offseason roster.

The team announced that Ronnie Bell has signed a future contract. He will be part of their 90-man roster when the Super Bowl is in the books.

Bell was a 2023 seventh-round pick by the 49ers. He played in all 17 games during his rookie season and caught six passes for 68 yards and three touchdowns in those appearances. He had two catches for 22 yards in nine games in 2024, but was waived in late November and finished the year on the practice squad.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond, Antoine Green and Tom Kennedy should also be on Detroit’s offseason roster.
