Financial terms were not disclosed, but Reiff's contract has an expected value of around $8 million with around $6.5 million in guaranteed money, including full base salary guarantees in the first three seasons.
Reiff was a three-year starter at the University of Iowa, with most of his starts coming at left tackle. The 6-foot-6, 313-pound Reiff has prototypical left-tackle size and is expected to be the eventual long-term replacement for 34-year-old Jeff Backus, who has made 177 consecutive starts (regular season and playoffs) and was re-signed to a two-year, $5.85 million contract this offseason.
With Reiff under contract, the Lions have become the 18th team to sign all of their picks from the 2012 NFL Draft. Full-squad Lions training camp practices begin Friday.
