The Detroit Lions have signed former Seahawks wide receiver Nate Burleson to a 5-year $25 million contract, with $11 million guaranteed.

In 2009 with the Seattle Seahawks, Burleson caught 63 passes for 812 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Burleson who will turn 29 in August was considered one of the best free agent wide receivers available. He will most likely be the Lions #2 receiver behind Calvin Johnson.
