The prophecy foretold of his return....
Don Carey was a huge asset on Special Teams for the Lions and had the versatility to be a backup Safety and Nickel Back. Tremendous football and overall character and in society.

Hopefully, Don Carey is fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered in the season ending game against the Packers.

I wish him and his family the best moving forward.
We stole him once, now we've stolen him again.
One of those moves that helps fill out the roster. Not bad. I would have liked to have seen them bring back Peyton Thompson though, oh well.
Another castoff signee.
Special teams player and potential upgrade at back up safety. Was decent in spot starts in Detroit.
Really really like this pick up,very underrated guy.
Championship.

No, seriously, did you see our secondary in 2010? With Don Carey back there lighting it up at safety? I mean, CHAMPIONSHIP.

Lol, Gene Smith finally gets his 'I told you so.' Just take the small victories right?

Are you a new Jag fan? This can't be serious. This guy was straight terrible 8 years ago when he was here. Maybe we can get Jason Hill or Mike Thomas to fill out the ranks also.
He was terrible 8 years ago......You want me to base my judgements on a guy 8 years ago? Probably should go sign Ed Reed then
Gene Smith "Jar on the shelf" lol
Because i'm sure we are expecting him to come in and START this time around...

Since he left he's become a quality ST player that also serves as depth at two different secondary positions. It's not a bad signing. 

From prideofdetroit.com:

Carey, 31, has been a staple of the Detroit Lions special teams units for the last seven seasons. His skills as a gunner and on kickoff coverage has helped make Detroit’s coverage teams one of the best in the NFL.

Carey was actually named the team’s Special Teams MVP [font=Helvetica, sans-serif]three years in a row, and will be a tough player to replace.[/font]


Funny how many folks are bashing this move and are completely clueless of the player's actual value.
