The move gives Detroit some interior offensive line depth following center Frank Ragnow’s abrupt retirement. Colon started seven games at right guard for the Cardinals last season. He previously made starts at left guard in Arizona and earned a handful of spot starts at center while in Baltimore. His addition will create some flexibility in the trenches for Detroit even if he doesn’t win a starting job in camp.

Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Colon can earn more money through incentives. A UDFA in 2020, Colon spent three years with the Ravens before signing with the Jets last offseason. He was waived at the end of training camp. The Cardinals claimed him off waivers and he appeared in 14 games for Arizona, four of which were starts. Colon was primarily a center in Baltimore but made all four of his starts at left guard for the Cardinals.
