The move prevents Redding from becoming an unrestricted free agent next month.

Redding emerged as a dominant player for the Lions last year when defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was out of the lineup. Redding had 37 tackles, including eight sacks, in his fourth season with the team after being drafted in 2003.

Eight sacks out of the DT position is impressive, and the Lions need to hold onto what defensive talent they have while they can.

Redding and Rogers in the middle will be a productive force. Now they just need to rebuild the rest of the defense and get a RB.
