Update:

According to Dave Birkett, it “sounds” like free agent S James Ihedigbo is deciding between signing with the Lions or the Bears right now.

Aaron Wilson recently reported that Ihedigbo is considering multiple offers, but the Ravens aren’t expected to match any of them.

Ihedigbo visited with the Lions a week ago, but ultimately left without a contract. He changed agents recently, so there a chance that an agreement could be in place at some point in the near future.

Ihedigbo, 30, is one of the best available safeties, and both the Lions and Bears could really use some help at the position. Last year, he totaled 100 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble and two recoveries for the Ravens defense.

Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 16 safety in league last season. We have him listed as the No. 15 best available player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.

Aaron Wilson reports that the Baltimore Ravens have maintained interest re-signing free agent S James Ihedigbo this offseason.

has hired a new agent in recent weeks. Birkett adds that the Lions can now resume pursuit of Ihedigbo if they happen to still be interested in signing him.

Dave Birkett reports that free agent S James Ihedigbo is leaving Detroit without a contract. However, Ihedigbo reportedly mentioned that it’s very possible he signs with a team soon.

Birkett adds that Ihedigbo needs to get his agent situation squared away.

Ihedigbo, 30, makes sense for the Lions given that they have an obvious need at safety and Ihedigbo played for new Lions DC Teryl Austin for the past two years in Baltimore.
