The Detroit Lions reportedly re-signed veteran cornerback Rashean Mathis on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old received a two-year deal worth $3.5 million, a source told Pro Football Talk.

After spending his first 10 NFL seasons in Jacksonville, Mathis has played for the Lions the past two. Last year, he started every game and recorded 51 tackles, nine pass breakups and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown.

In his 12-year career, Mathis has 31 interceptions and 127 passes defensed.
