ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions wrapped up an whirlwind first hour to free agency by coming to terms with Bears defensive lineman Cornelius Washington, according to ESPN.

The deal is for two years and $6 million, plus incentives, according to the report.

Washington has played in just 31 games since Chicago took him in the sixth round of the 2013 draft, and started two. But a lot of that had to do with injuries. When he was healthy -- like last year -- he showed he's athletic enough to be a versatile pass rusher across the defensive line.

While playing just 36.3 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps last year, he finished with two sacks, three QB hits and 24 QB hurries. Now he joins a defensive end rotation that is starved for help in the pass rush. Kerry Hyder led the way last year with eight sacks, but had just three after the first month of the season. Star end Ezekiel Ansah finished with just two.

Brandon Copeland and Anthony Zettel are also back after playing reserve roles last year, while Devin Taylor is a free agent after starting 16 games.

Detroit also has come to terms with right tackle Ricky Wagner, linebacker Paul Worrilow and defensive tackle Akeem Spence, while cutting linebacker DeAndre Levy and losing right guard Larry Warford (to the Saints) and right tackle Riley Reiff (to the Vikings). They're also hosting Pro Bowl guard T.J. Lang on a free-agent visit.
