D.J. Wonnum inks one-year deal with Lions D.J. Wonnum is signing a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions. The contract is worth up to $6 million. Fantasy Impact: Wonnum has played six seasons in the NFL with the Vikings and Panthers. He has registered at least three sacks in all six seasons, posting a career-high eight in his final year in Minnesota in 2023. Last year in Carolina, Wonnum totaled 42 tackles, four tackles for a loss, three sacks, and three pass breakups.
