Lions to bring in veteran CB for workout

Steve Wyche of NFL.com is reporting that the Lions will bring in veteran CB Rod Hood on Monday.  After the 5'-11", 198-pounder was signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2003, Hood caught on, and saw spot duty for four seasons.  He then signed as a free agent with Arizona, and started nearly every game in 2007 and 2008.  They then released him late last month for cap relief.  A former walk-on at Auburn, Hood has climbed a mountain that very few can climb.  On a roster crying out for veteran starting corners on the right side of 30, Hood could be a perfect fit.  However, he's already met with the Bengals and Browns.  A good fit Hood may be, but Mayhew steadfastly refuses to pay more than a player is worth--and so will not be drawn into a bidding war for Rod Hood.
