Kindle Vildor, Who Had Costly 49ers Blunder, Departs Lions
Lions cornerback Kindle Vildor is leaving Detroit for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency.
The Infamous Play
Lions fans remember a costly play in the 2023 NFC Championship game against the 49ers, where a ball deflected off Vildor's facemask and was caught for a significant gain by Brandon Aiyuk.
Vildor Joins the Buccaneers
The 27-year-old veteran has signed a one-year contract with the Buccaneers. The deal is reportedly a "veteran salary benefit" agreement at the veteran minimum rate of $1.17 million.
Vildor's Time in Detroit
Despite the infamous play, Vildor had productive moments with the Lions. He recorded 16 tackles in 2024 and had 22 starts with the Bears previously.
Vildor's move to Tampa Bay adds cornerback depth to the Buccaneers' roster and will likely contribute to special teams.
