All but two Detroit Lions 2025 draft picks are now under contract.
When the Detroit Lions opened rookie minicamp a couple weeks back, they also announced the signing of four of their 2025 NFL Draft picks: fifth-round pick Myles Frazier, sixth-round pick Ahmed Hassanein, and both seventh-round picks Dan Jackson and Dominic Lovett. Now it appears you can add one more player to the list.
On his Instagram page, Lions receiver Isaac TeSlaa—Detroit’s third-round pick—posted a picture of himself signing his rookie contract with the caption:
“Officially a Lion. God is so good.”
Additionally, it appears his contract details have already been filed. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, TeSlaa’s rookie deal is a four-year, $6.654 million contract with a $1.5 million signing bonus. Here are the full details, per Wilson:
While the Lions have yet to announce this signing as official, the photographic evidence tells it all.
With this signing, only two Lions draft picks remain unsigned: defensive tackle Tyleik Williams and guard Tate Ratledge. Second-round picks almost always take the longest to sign due to some wiggle room in negotiations. And that may be true again this year, as the Texans gave Jayden Higgins—picked 34th overall—the very first fully guaranteed rookie contract for a second-round pick.
Still, there is no real reason for concern about Williams or Ratledge signing. Last year, the Lions didn’t have second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw officially under contract until May 31, and Terrion Arnold signed his deal all the way on June 13. The only time for concern is if players have still not signed by training camp in July, and that very rarely happens.
