2022 was Okudah’s most productive season with the Lions as he posted 73 total tackles in 15 games, with 57 of those being solo tackles.

He was owed $5.2M from the Lions and by getting rid of him, Detroit unloads the money owed to him.

Okudah will receive a fresh start in Atlanta alongside young cornerback A.J. Terrell.
