NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported the deal is worth $20 million with $12.25 million guaranteed.

#Lions are releasing LB Devon Kennard, source says. Bit of a surprise there. Team captain coming off back-to-back seven-sack seasons. Should have interest elsewhere.
The 28-year-old acknowledged his release:

My goal in life is to always leave a place better then I found it. I believe I did that in Detroit with the @detroitlionsnfl . Thank you to my teammates, coaches, the support staff and fans that made my experience in Detroit one that I will cherish forever. https://t.co/79XSgk16eE
