Cornerback Brian Kelly, who voided his contract with the Bucs, became the fourth former Tampa Bay defender to join Rod Marinelli in Detroit.

Kelly agreed Saturday to a three-year deal with the Lions, the terms of which weren't immediately available. Kelly joins defensive tackle Chuck Darby, safety Dwight Smith and safety Kavlin Pearson, who signed a restricted free agent offer sheet, to work out deals with the Lions.

Marinelli was a former Bucs assistant head coach and defensive line coach from 1996-2005, before taking over as head coach of the Lions in 2006.

Kelly, a former second-round pick, started 73 games in his 10 seasons with the Bucs.

I like this move. Its not near as great as the Bodden move but hey, now the Lions really have no need to take a CB at 15 overall. Here comes Stewart/Mendenhall!!!
