The Detroit Lions made sure several players were signed and ready to participate in the first day of organized team activities on Monday.

Detroit signed defensive end Willie Young to a one-year deal instead of his restricted free agent tender, while offensive lineman Jason Fox signed his RFA tender today. In addition, running back Joique Bell, fullback Shaun Chapas, receiver Kris Durham and safety Ricardo Siva signed their exclusive rights deals. The Lions have re-signed all of their exclusive rights players and restricted free agents this offseason.

Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson and defensive tackle Corey Williams are the most notable unrestricted free agents who have not been re-signed yet.

Detroit placed a second-round tender on Young, who was a restricted free agent, this offseason. He was slated to earn $2.023 million this season, but will likely earn more with his one-year deal. Young finished with 11 tackles last season, and he failed to record a single sack after notching three in 2011.

Fox is expected to compete against Corey Hilliard for Detroit's vacant right tackle position. Hilliard or Fox could replace Gosder Cherilus as Detroit's right tackle this season, but if the Lions draft Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher, Riley Reiff could start on that side.

"We're prepared for just about anything as far as turnover on the offensive line, or turnover anywhere," Lions coach Jim Schwartz recently said. "I think that we drafted on the offensive line, last year with Riley Reiff, a couple of years before that with Jason Fox. We've developed those guys, and if we got to plug them in, we're prepared to do it. All those guys are guys we think a lot of, and we think they can go and do the job if called upon."
